Detailed calculations below
Fractions: brief introduction
A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar:
40/60
The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 40
The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 60
To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:
The value = 40 ÷ 60
Percent, p%: short introduction
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
How to convert a fraction to a percentage:
1) Calculate the value of the fraction.
2) Multiply this number by 100.
3) Add the percent sign %
Convert the fraction to a percentage
1. Calculate the value of the fraction.
To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:
40/60 =
40 ÷ 60 ≈
0.666666666666667
A quick note:
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100
... and its value doesn't change.
n × 100/100 = n × 1 = n, any number n
2. The calculation of the percentage:
0.666666666666667 =
0.666666666666667 × 100/100 =
(0.666666666666667 × 100)/100 ≈
66.666666666667/100 =
66.666666666667% ≈

Converting integer or decimal numbers, fractions, proportions and ratios to percentages
It's very simple to write a fraction (a proportion or a ratio) or a decimal number as a percentage.
To convert a fraction:
- - start by dividing the numerator by the denominator
- - then multiply the result by 100%
- By multiplying the result by 100% the value we've got at the previous step is not modified, since 100% = 100/100 = 1
- By multiplying by 100% only the form is being changed - it's written as a percentage.
It's even simpler to write an integer or decimal number as a percentage:
- - simply multiply the number by 100%
Examples
- 1/4 = 0.25 = 0.25 × 100% = (0.25 × 100)% = 25%;
- 7/8 = 0.875 = 0.875 × 100% = (0.875 × 100)% = 87.5%
- 1.3/9.4 ≈ 0.138297 = 0.138297 × 100% = (0.138297 × 100)% = 13.8297%
- 4.3 = 4.3 × 100% = (4.3 × 100)% = 430%;

Step by step method for calculating what percent of 60 is 40
We already have our first value 60 and the second value 40. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.
As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:
STEP 1Y = 40/60
By multiplying both numerator and denominator by 100 we will get:
STEP 2Y = 40/60 × 100/100 = 66.667/100
STEP 3Y = 66.667
Finally, we have found the value of Y which is 66.667 and that is our answer.
Here is a calculator to solve percentage calculations such as what percent of 60 is 40. You can solve this type of calculation with your values by entering them into the calculator's fields, and click 'Calculate' to get the result and explanation.
Sample questions, answers, and how to
Question: Your uncle had 60 shares of his own company a few years earlier, and now he has 40 of them. What percent of the shares of his company he has now?
Answer: He has 66.667 percent of shares of his company now.
How To: The key words in this problem are "What Percent" because they let us know that it's the Percent that is missing. So the two numbers that it gives us must be the "Total" and the "Part" we have.
Part/Total = Percent
In this case, it's the Total that our uncle owned. So we put 60 on the bottom of the fraction and 40 on top. Now we're ready to figure out the part we don't know; the Percent.
40/60 = Percent
To find the percent, all we need to do is convert the fraction into its percent form by multiplying both top and bottom part by 100 and here is the way to figure out what the Percent is:
40/60 × 100/100 = 66.667/100
66.667 = Percent
And that means he has 66.667 percent of the shares of his company now.
Another step by step method
Step 1: Let's solve the equation for Y by first rewriting it as: 100% / 60 = Y% / 40
Step 2: Drop the percentage marks to simplify your calculations: 100 / 60 = Y / 40
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 40 to isolate Y on the right side of the equation: 40 ( 100 / 60 ) = Y
Step 4: Computing the left side, we get: 66.667 = Y
This leaves us with our final answer: 66.667 percent of 60 is 40
