The percent sign % can be defined as "divide by 100".

So the decimal of 140% would be 140/100 or 1.4

So if you wanted to know what 140% of any number was you could multiply by

1.4 i.e. 140% of 50 is 50 x 1.4 = 70, or since multiplication is distributive you

could also do this (140 x 50)/100 which will also give you 70

1.4
