Answer:

34

Explanation:

Let's break this down

85% = 85/100 or 0.85

Of is related to multiplication

85% of 40 = 0.85 * 40

In 0.85, the decimal point is 2 places to the left. So the decimal point in the product will be 2 places to the left.

85 * 40 = 3400

Now tac on the decimal point 2 places to the left of 3400!

The answer would be 34.00 or 34!!

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!
