The answer is 32


Solution for 40 is what percent of 125:

40:125*100 =

( 40*100):125 =

4000:125 = 32

Now we have: 40 is what percent of 125 = 32

Question: 40 is what percent of 125?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 125 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=125$100%=125​.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=40$x%=40​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=125(1)$100%=125(1)​.

$x\%=40(2)$x%=40(2)​.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{125}{40}$
100%
x%​=
125
40​​

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{40}{125}$
x%
100%​=
40
125​​

$\Rightarrow x=32\%$⇒x=32%​

Therefore, $40$40​ is $32\%$32%​ of $125$125​.

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the percent and move the decimal two places to the left. In this case the percent is 40 so the decimal would be on the right of the 0 (40.0%) So that would make it .40 then multiply .40 x 125. Hope this helps.

An average person’s heart beats about 103,680 times a day. Write and solve an equation to find about how many times the average
Oksana_A [137]
1 day = 24 hours
1 day = 103 680
therefore 24 hours = 103 680 
                    1 hour = 103 680 ÷ 24
                               = 4320

1 hour = 60 mins 
1 hour = 4320
therefore  60 mins = 4320
                   1 min = 72 beats
