Question

What % of 40 is 15? Please put how u do it

Answer 1

Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

so x% of 40 is 15

the equation for that is

x/100 * 40 = 15

40x/100 = 15

multiply 100 on both sides

40x = 1500

divide 40 on both sides

37.5

37.5% of 40 is 15

Answer 2

Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Just do 15 out of 40 and divide 15 by 40 for the answer.

40/15

add a zero to the 15

40 goes into 150 3 times (40*3= 120)

150-120=30

40 doesn't go into 30 so you add another 0 which makes it 300

40 goes into 300 7 times

300-280= 20

40 doesn't go into 20 so add another zero (200)

40 goes into 200 5 times (40*5=200)

37.5
