When we say "Y is X percent of Z", we mean (X/100)*Z=Y 
In this case, Z is 40 and Y is 50, so: (X/100)*40=50 

Dividing both sides by 40 gives: 
(x/100)=(50/40) 
Multiply both sides by 100 gives 
x = 100 * (50/40) = 5000/40 = 125 

So 50 is 125% of 40

anonymous · Answer

We can set up an equation:

Fifty is x% of forty

50 = x% of 40

50 = 40x

What's 50 / 40?
