(hint: you should get 48% about :)

Answer 2

Answer:

47.5%  is 19 of the 40 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

19 is a part value of 40.

Let us assume that the x % is 19 of the number 40.

Now written x % in the decimal form.

$= \frac{x}{100}$

Than the equation becomes

$\frac{x\times 40}{100} = 19$

Solving the above

$\frac{19\times 100}{40} = x$

$\frac{1900}{40} = x$

x = 47.5%

Therefore  47.5%  is 19 of the 40 .
