Answer:

$26.80

Explanation:

(I don't know exactly how other people were taught to do percentages, but this is how I was taught and I find it the easiest for me.)

You are going to subtract your percentage number by 100.

100 - 33 = 67

This will give you your multiplier so you can then get your answer but you have to turn it into a decimal.

0.67 x 40 = 26.80
