How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 400 ÷ 1000 = 0.4
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.4 × 100 = 40%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40% of 1000 is 0.4 × 1000 = 400.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 400/1000 = p/100, so p = 400 × 100 ÷ 1000 = 40%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =400/1000*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

400 is between a quarter and a half of 1000. The part that is left, 600, is the other 60%.

Test scores: 400 correct answers out of 1000 is a score of 40%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 400 is 40% of a number, you can get that number back: 400 ÷ 0.4 = 1000. And 1000 as a percentage of 400 is 250%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
