How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 90 = 0.444444
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.444444 × 100 = 44.4444%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.4444% of 90 is 0.444444 × 90 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/90 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 90 = 44.4444%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/90*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.

What the result means

40 is between a quarter and a half of 90. The part that is left, 50, is the other 55.5556%.
