What is 20% of 40% of 500 and please tell me the answer clearly.
 
 

 

Hi,

You need to read the question and understand clearly what is being asked. For example

Cut me one third of one half of the pizza.

To do this you first cut the pizza in half and then take one of the halves and divide it into three

To answer your question you apply the same procedure to the 500.

40% of 500 is  40/100 500 = 200

Now find 20% of 200.
