Question

How would you break down 40% to find 40% of a number?
Check all that apply.
4(10%)
2(25%)
10% + 10% + 10% + 10%
25% + 10%
50% + 10% + 10%

Answer 1

To break down 40% of a number, you can express it in various ways. Let's analyze each option:

1. **4(10%)**: This is correct because 10% multiplied by 4 equals 40%.

2. **2(25%)**: This is correct because 25% multiplied by 2 equals 50%, which is not 40%. Thus, this option is not correct.

3. **10% + 10% + 10% + 10%**: This is correct because adding four 10% amounts equals 40%.

4. **25% + 10%**: This is correct because 25% plus 10% equals 35%, which is not 40%. Thus, this option is not correct.

5. **50% + 10% + 10%**: This option is not correct because 50% plus 10% plus 10% equals 70%.

In summary, the valid ways to express 40% from the options provided are:
- **4(10%)**
- **10% + 10% + 10% + 10%**

So, the correct answers are:
- 4(10%)
- 10% + 10% + 10% + 10%
