I'm confused..What is 40% of 60?

Question

i dont know how to figure it out.. :(

Answer 1

40% of 60= 0.40 (60)=24.00

Answer 2

.4 * 60= 24

Answer 3

The easy way is to times 4 times 6 which equals 24.  So 24 is your answer!  :)

Answer 4

Can you calculate a tip?

Pretend you're leaving 15% on a $60 bill as tip.  You can easily calculate that $6.00 is 10% and you know you can halve the number you have for 10% to get 5%

So you easily know that

15% is 9.00

Likewise, you can figure out 40% of 60 by first figuring out what 10% is:  6

Now 10% multiplied 4 times = 40%.  So multiply your value for 10% by 4.

6*4 = 24

24 is 40% of 60.

Answer 5

the answer = 24

Answer 6

change all percentages to decimal.  40% = .4

then multiply .4 x 60 = 24

Answer 7

40% is equal to 2/5 (two fifths).

So, divide 60 by 5 (find 1/5) then multiply it by 2(to get 2/5)

Answer 8

The best way I learned was by replacing the words in your question with symbols.

"What" means x.

"Is" means equals (=).

"Of" means multiply.

"What is 40% of 60?" becomes x = .4 times 6.

In this way, you can also solve "24 is what percent of 60?" (24 = 60x) and "24 is 40% of what?" (24 = .4x)

Answer 9

To solve any percent of a number you have to make the percentage a fraction so 40% is 2/5. Then you divide the number by the denominator and multiply it by the numerator so 60/5 = 12*2 = 24.

Answer 10

here is a good way to do percents like this

x/100 = is/of

40/100 = x / 60

cross multiply and divide

60 * 40 = 2400 / 100 = 24

Your answer is 24!

Hope this was helpful!!!!!!!!!!!
