Question

Find 40% of 200 2 different ways

Answer 1

Explanation:

(40/100) * 200

= (4/10) * 200

= 4*20 = 80

OR

(40/100) * 200

= 40 * 200)/100

= 8000/100

= 80

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: To find 40% of 200, first write 40% as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left to get .40.

Next, the word "of" means multiply, so we have (.40)(200) which equals 80.

Another way we can do this is by dividing 40% by 100 to get the decimal .04. Then, we can multiply that by 200 to get 80.
