Determine what percentage of 40 is 30.

Solution:

In order to determine what percentage  of 40 is 30, we simply need to divide 30 by 40.

= 30/40

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

= (0.75)(100)

= 75%

30 is 75% of 40.
