65% of 40 is what number?
ahh this was supposed to be done yesterdayyy..

26 is answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 40.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$40=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=65\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$40=100\%(1)$.

$x=65\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{40}{x}=\frac{100\%}{65\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{40}=\frac{65}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=26$

Therefore, $65\%$ of $40$ is $26$

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
