Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need our two numbers to have the same units. Since one number is in cents and the other is in dollars, we should change one of them. It could be either one.

Both numbers in cents:

50/4000

OR, both numbers in dollars:

.50/40.00

Either of these will work. Divide, you will get a decimal answer. Then multiply by 100 to change to a percent.

50÷4000 (OR .5/40)

= 0.0125

times by 100

0.0125 × 100

= 1.25% but the directions said to round to the nearest whole number, that's 1%
