Let
x---------------> <span>the height of the tree

we know that
by using proportion
</span>\frac{40}{8} = \frac{x}{6}  \\  \\ 40*6=8*x \\  \\ x=40*6/8 \\  \\ x=30 feet
<span>
therefore

the answer is

Sara sold $3350 in ads,

Kenny sold $1368, and

Leila sold $456

What percent of 40 is 14?
Lemur [1.5K]

First translate the question into an equation.

"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.

So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.

Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.

Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.

So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.
