Question

Which expression can be used find 40% of 130?

1. (26)(5)
2.(26)(4)
3.(26)(3)
4.(26)(2)

Answer 1

40% = 0.40 = 2/5
So multiplying 130 × 2/5 (bc "% of" means multiply)... divide 130 by 5 = 26
What's left over??
2 × 26
4. (26)(2)

Answer 2

Option 4.
`(26)(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the percentage of a number , multiply the number by the percentage in fraction form or decimal form

so

`40\%=(40)/(100)=(2)/(5)`

`130*(2)/(5)=(26)(2)=52`
