Question

What is 20% of 40, work it out​

Answer 1

Hey there

Answer:

• 20% of 40 is 8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given a number that is 40 . And we have asked to find 20% of it .

Solution : -

$\longmapsto \qquad \: \: 20\% \times 40$

We know that ,

• Percent ( % ) represent 1/100

So ,

$\longmapsto \qquad \: \: ( 20 \times \dfrac{1}{100}) \times 40$

or ,

$\longmapsto \qquad \: \: \dfrac{20}{100} \times 40$

Now cancelling zero :

$\longmapsto \qquad \: \: \dfrac{2 \cancel{0}}{1 \cancel{0} \cancel{0}} \times 4 \cancel{0}$

We get ,

$\longmapsto \qquad \: \: 2 \times 4$

$\longmapsto \qquad \: \: \blue{\underline{\boxed{\frak{8}}}} \quad \bigstar$

• Therefore , 20% of 40 is 8 .
