Yeah, exactly like what Steven Procter said.
In short, the formula is something like this:
a/b x 100 = c %
a/b is the decimal number that you will get by dividing a over b. In your case, a = 40,400 and b = 324,800.
c % is the percentage you gain after multiplying the decimal number you obtain with 100.
Hope you understand.

First of all cancel the common factors.
40400/324800 = 404/3248 = 202/1624 = 101/812
Then divide the numerator with the denominator.
This fraction will give a non terminating decimal.
0.12438423645320197044334975...
To make it a percentage multiply by 100.
12.438% approx.

Start by reducing.
40400/324800
=404/3248
=101/812
Now we divide.
Once you do that, you'll get a decimal answer.
To convert to percent, multiply your decimal answer by 100, and then add a percent sign.

first of all,you can do it this way
40400/324800=404/3248
take 4 common
then we get 101/812
then you can use your calcultor,it should be 0.1243842364
so it would be 12.438%
