Best Answer

50% of 40%

50/100 x 40/100 = 2000/10000 (cancel noughts to leave 20/100)

20/100 = .20 = 20% (move point 2 places to the right to change to whole number 20)

If dealing with 50%, you could simply say half of 40% is 20%. But following the above calculation will work with any percentage from a percentage. (Note: 50/100 means 50 over 1 hundred, not 50 divided by 1 hundred.)
