Answer:
B.60%
Step-by-step explanation:
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
60% = 60 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
60% = 60/100 = 60 ÷ 100
Calculate percentage:
'Percentage' is obtained by multiplying 40 by 60%
60% of 40 is equivalent to multiplying them:
60% × 40 = ?
60% × 40 =
(60 ÷ 100) × 40 =
(60 × 40) ÷ 100 =
2,400 ÷ 100 =24
Proof
How do we check the result?
If 60% × 40 = 24 =>
Divide 24 by 40...
... And see if we get as a result: 60%
Note:
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.
n/100 = n%, any number.
