Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Howard's answer is completely wrong at least the way I completed the problem. When you want to calculate the percentage of a number in any case you multiply. Instead of multiplying 140 by 40 percent you multiply it by 0.4 (140*0.4) which will give you 56 which is the correct answer and is 40 percent of 140.

B-3/15=1<br> I have a lot of answers but I don't know which one is correct
Marina CMI [18]
<span>b-3/15=-1

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
<span>b-3/15=-1

Simplifying:
<span>b-0.2=-1

We move all terms containing b to the left and all other terms to the right.
<span>+1b=-1 + 0.2

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
<span>+1b=-0.8

We divide both sides of the equation by 1 to get b.
<span>b=-0.8
