How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 86 = 0.465116
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.465116 × 100 = 46.5116%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.5116% of 86 is 0.465116 × 86 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/86 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 86 = 46.5116%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/86*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.
