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% of 40 is 15
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)
4,15
