It is important to do the calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
  = 550/4
  = 137.5
So 55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from outside.This is the simplest way of solving such problems.

55 is 40% of 137.5

Convert your percentage into a decimal:
40%/100 = 0.4

Divide 55 by the decimal: 
55 ÷ 0.4 = 137.5

A radio telescope has a parabolic surface, as shown below.
krek1111 [17]
OK, so the graph is a parabola, with points x=0,y=0; x=6,y=-9; and x=12,y=0

Because the roots of the equation are 0 and 12, we know the formula is therefore of the form

y = ax(x - 12), for some a

So put in x = 6

-9 = 6a(-6)

9 = 36a

a = 1/4

So the parabola has a curve y = x(x-12) / 4, which can also be written y = 0.25x² - 3x

The gradient of this is dy/dx = 0.5x - 3

The key property of a parabolic dish is that it focuses radio waves travelling parallel to the y axis to a single point. So we should arrive at the same focal point no matter what point we chose to look at. So we can pick any point we like - e.g. the point x = 4, y = -8

Gradient of the parabolic mirror at x = 4 is -1

So the gradient of the normal to the mirror at x = 4 is therefore 1.

Radio waves initially travelling vertically downwards are reflected about the normal - which has a gradient of 1, so they're reflected so that they are travelling horizontally. So they arrive parallel to the y axis, and leave parallel to the x axis.

So the focal point is at y = -8, i.e. 1 metre above the back of the dish.
