Default SUMPRODUCT Help

I apologize for my 3rd question w/in two days, but every time one thing
works, another thing does not.

In our survey- we are trying to find data in regard to our students (who are
in different programs) and what classes are beneficial. Our students can
identify themselves in up to 3 different programs out of 6 total programs
(coded 1 - 6): (Columns V, W, X) and then can identify up to 3 different
beneficial classes (Columns P, Q, R). Each row is a different student. The
question is:

How many students who identified as '2' also said class 'x' is beneficial?

I have similar questions that were answered using SUMPRODUCT:
=SUMPRODUCT((V4:X100=2)*(L4:L100=1))/COUNTIF(V4:X100, "2") (a different
question finding OF the students who identified as 'entrepreneur [2]' for
program, also said they 'disagreed [1]' w/ a statement)

but for some reason, the same equation is not working for looking at the
multiple columns for beneficial classes when I'm trying to find OF the
'entrepreneur [2]' students, who thought 'B 111' was beneficial?:
=SUMPRODUCT((V4:X100=2)*(P4:R100="B 111"))/COUNTIF(V4:X100, "2")

Is it because I'm looking at multiple columns for both values? I've entered
in this equation ... and it is bringing up the wrong percentage. When doing
the math manually (3 out of the 7 total entrepreneur students surveyed said B
111 was beneficial) -- the answer should be 43% ... but using this equation I
keep coming up w/ 29%. Is there a different equation to use in this instance
when there are multiple column ranges for both values?

Thanks!
Amber
