Answer 1

So what’s 40% of 80 that will be your answer! Think of 50% is 1/2 so what’s 1/2 of 80? 40 so your answer will be close to that

Answer 2

32 people.

Explanation:

When it comes to finding percentages, I use fractions. Is over Of, times % over 100. Since their are 80 people, 80 would go where the of is. And 40 is where the percentage is. 80 times 40 equals 3200. X times 100 equals 100x. Since we are trying to x by itself, we would divide 3200 by 100. 3200 divided by 200 equals 32. So the answer is 32 people.

Hope this helps!!
