How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 45 ÷ 40 = 1.125
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.125 × 100 = 112.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 112.5% of 40 is 1.125 × 40 = 45.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/40 = p/100, so p = 45 × 100 ÷ 40 = 112.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45/40*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

45 is more than the whole amount (1.125 times as much) of 40. 45 goes past 40 by 5, which is another 12.5% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 45 items against a target of 40 means reaching 112.5% of the target, beating it by 12.5%.

Turning it around

If you know that 45 is 112.5% of a number, you can get that number back: 45 ÷ 1.125 = 40. And 40 as a percentage of 45 is 88.8889%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
