Answer:

34 (explanation below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert percent to decimal by moving the decimal in the number 40 over 2 places to the left and drop the sign.

.40

Now multiply 85 by .40 = 34

You can ALSO do in your head by thinking 10 percent (8.50) and adding it 4 times to find 40 percent. It's a lot faster!

luda_lava [24]
When comparing and contrasting, it's always good to think about what your doing it with.
I'm not going to give to a full paragraph, but I'd love to help get one started for you!

First, let's look at the definition of both terms:

-Design: "<span>purpose, planning, or intention that exists or is thought to exist behind an action, fact, or material object" ~ Google

-Problem Solving: "Taking different approaches to finding a solution to the problem, or task at hand."

Now, let's compare. When designing things, you in a way, are problem solving to figure out how to create or build a solution to a problem. This can be through trial and error, or complex thinking.

I hope this helps, and good luck! :)</span>
