How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 40 = 37.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.6 ÷ 40 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/40, so part = 94 × 40 ÷ 100 = 37.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*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

37.6 is the 94% share of 40. The remaining 6% is 2.4, and the two parts add back up to 40.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $40 saves $37.6, so you pay $2.4.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 40 by 94% gives 77.6 and decreasing it by 94% gives 2.4. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 4.656, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
