Gibbs · Answer 1

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

one strategie is doing proportions

96/240=?/100

simplify 96/240 = 2/5

so 2/5=?/100

multiply 100 by 2

then divide it by 5

another strategie is putting it into a decimal and percent

96/240 = 2/5

in decimal is 0.40

move the decimal twice to the right and you get 40%
