How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 95 = 0.421053
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.421053 × 100 = 42.1053%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.1053% of 95 is 0.421053 × 95 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/95 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 95 = 42.1053%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/95*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.
