How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 140 ÷ 100 = 1.4
  2. Multiply: 1.4 × 25 = 35
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35 ÷ 25 × 100 = 140%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 140/100 = part/25, so part = 140 × 25 ÷ 100 = 35. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =140%*25. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

Because 140% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 25: it is 1.4 times 25.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 140% of its $25 cost means selling it for $35.

Adding and taking away 140%

Increasing 25 by 140% gives 60. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 140% and then lowering the result by 140% ends at -24, because the second 140% is taken of a bigger number.
