<span>40% * x = 24 

We simply the 40% into either 2/5 (40/100) or 0.40. I will show both ways: 

(using 2/5) 

(2/5)x = 24 

We multiply each side by 5, and divide by 2 (or multiply by 5/2) 

(5/2)(2/5)x = 24(5/2) = (10/10)x = 120/2 

Simplified, we get x = 60. So 40% of 60 is 24. 

Here is the same problem again, this time written out with 0.40 instead of 2/5 

0.40(x) = 24 

(I like to multiply by 100 to get an even 40 instead of .40, so I am going to multiply each side by 100 to make things a little easier). 

40x = 2400 

Divide each side by 40 to isolate x 

x = 2400/40 

We simply to get x = 60, the same answer.  s</span><span>oo 24 is 40% of 60 :)

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The question is about the least amount to charge each policyholder as premium

The least premium is $484

Step-by-step explanation:

The least amount of premium to charge for this policy is the sum of the expected values of outcome of both instances of policyholder dying before the age of 70 and living after the age of 70 years

expected value of dying before 70 years=payout*probability=$24,200*2%=$484

Expected of living after 70=payout*probability=$0*98%=$0

sum of expected values=$484+$0=$484

Note that payout is nil if policyholder lives beyond 70 years

The premium of $573 means that a profit of $89 is recorded
