Answer 1

Answer:

2/5, 0.4, and 40%

Explanation:

If Esteban has $120 and bought a tablet for $48, let's go ahead and determine what percent of $120 is $48 as shown below;

$\begin{gathered} x\text{ \% of 120 = 48} \\ \frac{x}{100}\times120=48 \\ 12x=480 \\ x=\frac{480}{12} \\ x=40\text{\%} \end{gathered}$

Let's go ahead and convert 40% to a fraction and a decimal number;

$40\text{\%=}\frac{40}{100}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$
