Question

Solve
What percent of 40 is 9

Answer 1

9 x 100 / 40= 22.5 %

Answer 2

Let's say that it is x%
'OF' always means to MULTIPLY.


\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow x\% * 40 = 9 }\)

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {x \over 100} * 40 = 9 }\)

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow 40x = 900 }\)

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow x = 22.5 }\)

So, it is 22.5%
