Answer:

64/100=40/y

Explanation:

We use the simple equation of finding percentages, which would be the percentage (64) over 100 percent, as this is our total. If 64 percent of y equals 40, then the equation is 64/100=40/y. To solve for y, multiply 100 x 40= 4000, then divide by 64 to get the answer. Y=62.5
