Question

What is 40% of 55? please help

Answer 1

40% of 55 is 22.

Explanation:

I learned a little trick in middle school, you take the percent, and make it into a decimal, in this case 40%, 40% can be made into 0.4.

Now take the total, in this case 55, and multiply is by 0.4.

40% of 55 is 22.

Answer 2

22

Explanation:

40% is 40/100

40/100 x 55 = 2200/100

2200/100 = 22

OR you can divide 55 by 5, since 40% means 2/5.

There are 5 elevens in 55. Add 11 + 11 = 22.
