Answer:

$393.20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two easy ways to solve this:

1) Use a setup and cross multiply.

First, set up your problem.

<u> $ x  </u>  =  <u>40%</u>

$983    100%

$983 is the total amount, so it is equal to 100%. We're trying to find 40% of it, so we can label the amount as $x. Remember, each side has to be in the same type of measurements (i.e. dollars, percentages, inches, etc.).

Then, cross multiply. You should end up with:

100x = 39,320

Then, simplify.

x = 393.2

x = $393.20

2) Convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply.

First, convert the percentage you're looking for into a decimal:

40% × 100 = 0.4

Then, multiply the decimal with the total sales amount:

$983 × 0.4 = 393.2

                   = $393.20

0.50x= 10

divide by 0.50 for both sides

0.50/0.50x= 10/0.50
