Question

What is 85% of 40 , work it out​

Answer 1

34

Explanation:

as i said before, dividing the number (40) by the percent (85)

another way to do it is to multiply

since 85% is 85/100

85/100 *40

(85 * 40)/100

(85 * 40) = 3400

3400/100

remove zeros on both the numerator and denominator since they are in the same places (ones and tens, 1s and 10s)

34/1 = 34

your answer is 34

hope this helps:)
