Answer 6

To find the solution to this, you can use this formula

\(\rm \dfrac{part}{whole} = \dfrac{percent}{100}\)

From looking at this, we know that our part is 40, our whole is unknown, and our percent is 25, so plug in the values

\(\rm \dfrac{40}{whole} = \dfrac{25}{100}\)

We have to cross multiply 40 by 100 to get 4000. Now we take this 4000 and divide it by 25 to get 160, our answer, so

\(\rm \dfrac{40}{160} = \dfrac{25}{100}\)
