40% of 288 is 115.20

Answer 2

The 40% of that number is 102.4.

• 12 1/2% of a number is 32.

12 1/2% = $\frac{(12)2 + 1}{2}$% = 25/2% = 12.5%.

• Therefore, 12.5% of a number is 32.

• Percentage of number is calculated by ,

Percentage = $\frac{Value}{Number}$ × 100

12.5 = $\frac{32}{Number}$ × 100

Number = 256

• Now, we have to find 40% of the number.

Percentage = $\frac{Value}{Number}$ × 100

40 = $\frac{Value}{256}$ × 100

Value = 102.4

• Therefore, 40% of the same number is 102.4.
