How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 38 = 1.052632
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.052632 × 100 = 105.2632%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 105.2632% of 38 is 1.052632 × 38 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/38 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 38 = 105.2632%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/38*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
