Question
What is 40% of 240,000 how would you solve it?
Kelli,
Here is how you solve this problem:
40% means 40 out of 100. So write this in the form below:
100 40
240000 x
x is the value that we want to find.
Cross multiply values in above table and equate the results like:
100 * x = 240000 * 40
Solving this,
x = 240000 * (40 / 100)
x = 96000
I hope this clears your question. Kindly let me know if you need additional information.
All the best
Cheers,
Pawan
