Answer: E. 40
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Concept: </u>
- When you encounter questions that state "what percent of [a] is [b]" then it means asking for a fraction of b to a, which is "(b/a)×100%".
- If you are still confused, I would provide some examples
- What percent of 20 is 5: (5/20)×100% = 25%
- What percent of 10 is 2: (2/10)×100% = 20%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>Solve:</u>
(16/40)×100% = 0.4 × 100% = 40%
Hope this helps!! :)
