41 times 0.15 equals 6.15.

As you can't have 0.15 of a band, that means only 6 bands will compete.

Hope this is right. :)

Answer: 6 brands will compete in the finals.

Explanation:

Given : The flu fighters competed against 40 brands in the chicken soup country battle of the bands.

i.e. The total number of brands = 40

Also, the top 15% will complete in the all virus state finals.

[ We can write 15% as
(15)/(100)=0.15 ]

It implies , the number of brands will compete in the finals is given by :-


0.15*40=6

Therefore, 6 brands will compete in the finals.
