Sure! Let's calculate [tex]\(40\%\)[/tex] of a given variable [tex]\(st\)[/tex].
1. Understand the Percentage:
- [tex]\(40\%\)[/tex] means [tex]\(40\)[/tex] out of [tex]\(100\)[/tex], which can be represented as a fraction: [tex]\(\frac{40}{100}\)[/tex].
- Simplifying the fraction:
[tex]\[
\frac{40}{100} = 0.4
\][/tex]
2. Calculate [tex]\(40\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(st\)[/tex]:
- Multiplying the decimal representation by the variable [tex]\(st\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
0.4 \times st
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\(40\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(st\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
0.4 \times st
\][/tex]
So, the formula for [tex]\(40\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(st\)[/tex] is [tex]\(0.4 \times st\)[/tex].
