How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 40 = 22.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.8 ÷ 40 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/40, so part = 57 × 40 ÷ 100 = 22.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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

22.8 is the 57% share of 40. The remaining 43% is 17.2, and the two parts add back up to 40.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $40 saves $22.8, so you pay $17.2.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 40 by 57% gives 62.8 and decreasing it by 57% gives 17.2. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 27.004, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
