4% of what number is 40?

Mathematics

Answer: 1,000

Step-by-step explanation: Well <em>percent</em> means over 100 so we know that 4% means the same thing as 4/100. <em>Of</em> means <em>times</em>, <em>what number</em> means <em>x</em>, <em>is</em> means equals, and <em>40 </em>means <em>40</em>.

So we have the equation 4/100 · x = 40.

Notice that 4/100 can be reduced to 1/25.

So rewriting our problem we have x/25 = 40.

To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 25 and we have x = 1,000.

Now let's check our answer back in the

original problem to see if it makes sense.

We have <em>4% of 1,000 is 40</em>.

Well we know that 100% of 1,000 would be 1,000 so 4% of 1,000 should be alot less than 1,000 so 40 seems to make sense.

I have also attached my own work in the image provided.

Answer: 1000

Step-by-step explanation: you do 4% multiplied by x = 40

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 4,

we have x = 40 × 100/4

40×100÷4

And you get 1000

Harmony used discarded paper to make notepads for her friends. She would fold five letter size pieces of paper three times then
Anna11 [10]
First fold of a piece of paper produces two smaller pieces of paper
Second fold of the resulting pieces of paper produces 4 smaller pieces of paper.
Third fold of the resulting pieces of paper produces 8 smaller pieces of paper.

Thus, the five letter size pieces of paper folded three times produces 8 x 5 = 40 notes.

Thus, one notepad consists of 40 notes.

If someone wrote ten notes per day, then one notepad will last for 4 days.

The current in a simple electrical circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance. The current is 80 amps when the resistan
Oksana_A [137]
I =  / r            where I = current and r = resistance

80 = k / 50 so
k = 400

so we have I = 400/r

when r = 40  
I = 400/40 = 10 amps
