22 is 40% of what number? A) 44 B) 55 C) 64 D) 88

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

When working with percents, the word "is" means "equals". We can use this to make an equation. The decimal form of 40% is 0.4. Our number will be represented by the variable n.

22=0.4n

Flip equation around so n is on the left (you don't have to do this, but I like having the variable on the left)

0.4n=22

We divide both sides by 0.4

n=55

Therefore, your answer is B) 55.

Have a wonderful day! :D

55 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Is means equals and of means multiply

22 = 40% * x

Change to decimal form

22 = .40x

Divide each side by .40

22/.40 = .40x/.40

55 =x

560

hope this : )
