15% of 80 = 12

12% of 200 = 24

8% of 0.57 = 456 Incorrect

8% of 0.57 = 0.08 * 0.57 = 0.0456

What percentage of 300 is 40? cant figure out

Assume that number to be found = x

then

x/100 * 300 = 40

3x = 40

x = 40/3 = 13 1/3

So

13 1/3 % of 300 is 40.



What percentage of 40 is 0.6? cant figure out

Follow the same pocedure as above

Please show me

how you are following the steps I showed you for previous problem - and not getting this problem.

I'll start you off..

Assume that the number to be found is 'x'

then continue ....

What percentage of 40 is 0.6? cant figure out

40x = 0.6
divide both sides by 40
x = 0.6/40
x = 0.015

so 0.015(100) = 1.5%
