Question

65% of 40 is what number?ahh this was supposed to be done yesterdayyy..​

Answer 1

Answer:

65% of 40 is 26

Answer 2

26 is answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 40.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$40=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=65\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$40=100\%(1)$.

$x=65\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{40}{x}=\frac{100\%}{65\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{40}=\frac{65}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=26$

Therefore, $65\%$ of $40$ is $26$
