Chris lost 4 of the 10 dollar bills that his parents gave him for his birthday. What percentage of his dollar bills did he lose?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages are always out of 100 and can be illustrated by fractions.

[tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]   [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

To find out x, you multiply 100x4 then divide by 10.

This leaves us with [tex]\frac{40}{100}[/tex]

Which is also 40%.
