Question

How do I figure this out?

Answer 1

You have the right idea so far.
--Percent means out of 100, so 40% is 40/100
--of means multiply
--is means equals
--ill use X for a variable 'what number'


"68 is 40% of what number"

$68= \frac{40}{100}*X$

Answer 2

It would be 150 because 68 divided by 0.40 (which is 40% as a decimal) is 150.

Make me brainliest if this helped.
