How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 9 ÷ 40 = 0.225
- Multiply by 100: 0.225 × 100 = 22.5%
- Check: Work backwards: 22.5% of 40 is 0.225 × 40 = 9.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/40 = p/100, so p = 9 × 100 ÷ 40 = 22.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9/40*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.
