Answer:
180 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You must find 40% of 450 and you can make the of into an x (multiplication symbol) like so:
40% x 450
Now, percent's are fractions, and 100% is equal to one whole or 1. To make 40% a fraction, simply just place a decimal in front of the 4, like so:
.40 or 0.40 or 0.4 or .4
Now place that in the equation:
0.40 x 450
Solve:
450.00
x 0.40
___________
180.00
^
(!Important! !Always bring down the decimal in the exact place it was at in first place!)
Check:
180 = 40%
450 = 100%
(To get 450 you must multiply 100 by 4.5, therefore you multiply 40 by 4.5 to get 180)
