How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 40 = 14.4
- Check: Work backwards: 14.4 ÷ 40 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/40, so part = 36 × 40 ÷ 100 = 14.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*40. 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
14.4 is the 36% share of 40. The remaining 64% is 25.6, and the two parts add back up to 40.
Discounts: 36% off an item priced $40 saves $14.4, so you pay $25.6.
Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 40 by 36% gives 54.4 and decreasing it by 36% gives 25.6. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 34.816, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
