Since 120 is more than 40 -- the percentage must be well above 100.
Try this formula.
0.4x = 120
x = 120/0.4
x = ? %
What percentage of 40 IS 120?
I used the formula:
40 =x*120
-40 -40
x= 80%
to me this seems way to high as 40 goes into 120 three times making it 33%. Am I using the wrong formula? According to the text book, it seems to be the right answer, but does not sit well with me, looks incorrect. Please advise
