133.33333333 .........  %

 

Why?

40/30 cancels down to 4/3. 

 

'What is 4/3 as a percentage?'   just means 'how many hundredths are there in 4/3?'

How many...........           x

hundreths..........            1/100

are there  ............            =

in   4/3      .......                 4/3    

 

so we need to find x/100 = 4/3     for x as the percentage.

Multiply both sides by 100 to get  x = 400/3     = 133.3333333.......... which is the percentage.
