Answer:

52

Explanation:

30% more means the original 100% plus 30% more of the original 40

That's 130% = 130/100 = 1.3

"of" means x, so it's 40 x 1.3 = 52 people

Answer:

12

Explanation:

Change the percentage into a decimal

30% = 30/100 = 0.30

Multiply 40 with 0.30

40 x 0.30 = 12

12 more people adopted, making 52 in all.
