Respuesta :
The algebraic expression for the word phrase 40% of x, would be 40/100 X or 2/5 X.
Answer:
The algebraic expression for the given word phrase is 2x/5
Explanation:
We have to write the algebraic expression for the word phrase 40% of x.
We know that percentage means divide by 100.
'of' means multiply.
Thus, we can write the above phrase as
40% of x [tex]= \frac{40}{100} \times x[/tex]
Now we can simplify the above expression. 40 and 100 can be divide by 20 to get
[tex]\frac{2}{5} \times x[/tex]
Therefore, the required algebraic expression is given by
[tex]\frac{2x}{5}[/tex]
