How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 88 = 0.454545
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.454545 × 100 = 45.4545%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.4545% of 88 is 0.454545 × 88 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/88 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 88 = 45.4545%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/88*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.
