what percent of 65 is 40?\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets look at some easier problems:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What percent of 4 is 2?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By inspection, we can see that 2 is 2/4 or 1/2 of 4 and 1/2 is 50%. Simply divide 1/2 out and you get 0.5 or 50%. To change a decimal to a percent, simply move the decimal point two places to the right. Actually, we could just as well say: what fractional part of 4 is 2?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What percent of 9 is 3?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By inspection, we can see that 3 is 1/3 of 9 and 1/3=0.333333 or 33.3333%.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now lets look at your problem:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By inspection, we can see that 40 is 40/65 of 65. When we divide this out we get:0.615385 or 61.5385%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "65*(0.615385)=40
\n" ); document.write( "40=40\r
