Question

What is 20% of 40, work it out​

Answer 1

Hey there

Answer:

• 20% of 40 is 8 .

Explanation:

In this question we are given a number that is 40 . And we have asked to find 20% of it .

Solution : -

`\longmapsto \qquad \: \: 20\% * 40`

We know that ,

• Percent ( % ) represent 1/100

So ,

`\longmapsto \qquad \: \: ( 20 * (1)/(100)) * 40`

or ,

`\longmapsto \qquad \: \: (20)/(100) * 40`

Now cancelling zero :

`\longmapsto \qquad \: \: \frac{2 \cancel{0}}{1 \cancel{0} \cancel{0}} * 4 \cancel{0}`

We get ,

`\longmapsto \qquad \: \: 2 * 4`

`\longmapsto \qquad \: \: \blue{\underline{\boxed{\frak{8}}}} \quad \bigstar`

• Therefore , 20% of 40 is 8 .
