What is 40% of 70?

Question

Please help...not good with math

Answer 1

First: change the percentage into a decimal, on a piece of paper, keep the point of your pencil after the 2nd digit, and move two places to the left...

40 = 0.40

Sec: "of" means to multiply > multiply 0.40 and 70...

(0.40)(70)
= 28

Answer 2

Same as 70% of 40 .
28.

Answer 3

40/100 * 70 = ?
4/10 * 70 = ?
2/5 * 70 = ?
140 / 5 = ? = 28

Answer 4

70 = 100%
10% equals therefore 7
40% of 70 are then 7 x 4 = 28

Answer 5

40 %
40 percent
per means for each, cent means 100, so
40 for every 100

anytime you've got percent, it always means per 100. So you're dividing by 100 to get to decimal, or multiplying decimals by 100 to get to percent.

So, 40 percent, is 40 per each 100, or 40/100. Since you're looking for the peice out of 70, you can solve this problem by cross multiplication:

40/100 = x/70 [problem set up, part / whole]

100 x = 40*70 [after cross multiplying]

x= 40*70/100 [divide both sides by the 100 to get x]

2800/100 = 28. [calculator/times tables memorized]

Answer 6

percent means parts per 100 so 40 percent is 40 parts per 100.

To determine a percentage problem like this take the percentage times the number and divide by 100 or here:
40 * 70 / 100 = 28.

Answer 7

What is 10% of 70 (one tenth of seventy) take that figure and multiply by 4, to equal 40% of 70.[it's between 25 & 30!]

Answer 9

Answer 10

40% just means .4 (just take a % and divide by 100), then multiply times 70. its 28.
