How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 40 = 38.4
- Check: Work backwards: 38.4 ÷ 40 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/40, so part = 96 × 40 ÷ 100 = 38.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*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
38.4 is the 96% share of 40. The remaining 4% is 1.6, and the two parts add back up to 40.
Discounts: 96% off an item priced $40 saves $38.4, so you pay $1.6.
Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 40 by 96% gives 78.4 and decreasing it by 96% gives 1.6. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 3.136, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
