How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4
  2. Multiply: 0.4 × 200 = 80
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80 ÷ 200 × 100 = 40%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/100 = part/200, so part = 40 × 200 ÷ 100 = 80. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40%*200. 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

80 is the 40% share of 200. The remaining 60% is 120, and the two parts add back up to 200.

Discounts: 40% off an item priced $200 saves $80, so you pay $120.

Adding and taking away 40%

Increasing 200 by 40% gives 280 and decreasing it by 40% gives 120. These do not cancel out: raising 200 by 40% and then lowering the result by 40% ends at 168, because the second 40% is taken of a bigger number.
