How would you work out 65% of 40 on a calculator?

40 x 0.65 = 26
24/40 = 0.6

So Ben got 26 out of 40, or 65%
Adam got 24 out of 40, or 60%

Ben got a higher grade.

Hope that helps.

divide 40 by 100 to get 1%
then time the 1% by 65 to get 65%

the final answer is 26, so ben got the highest grade

You do not need a calculator for this:

First, re-write 65% = .65
Then

65% of 40 is:
(.65) * 40 = 26 is the answer.

------------------
if you use a calculator: type:
.56 * 40 then Enter: you will have the same answer.

Good Luck!

65% of 40; just type "0.65 * 40" = 26

Adam's Score = 24 / 40 = 3 / 5 = 60%

Ben's Score = 65% ( 26 / 40 )

Therefore, Ben obtained the higher grade

.65 times 40 will give you 65 percent of 40. 65 percent of 40 is 26. Ben had the higher grade.

40 x 65%
= 40 x 65/100
= (40 x 65)/100
= 2600/100
= 26

Put in 24 the divide then 40 , this gives you a decimal figure if you multiply by 100 you will get the percentage (per Cent means out of every hundred) . In this case 60% So Ben scored more.

In general, the "is-of" percent problems can be solved by doing the following:

Convert percents to fraction or decimal form.
Change any "is" term to an equals
Change any "of" term to a multiply

so:

65% of 40 is what?

becomes

0.65 * 40 = n

Now solve for n

n = 26
