6/40 can be cancelled down to 3/20 (divided by 2). Now your looking for 100 because percent means per hundred. Can 20 fit into 100? yes it can, it fits in 5 times. What you do to the bottom, you must do to the top. So we times 3 by 5 which gives us 15 and 20 by 5 = 100. Now our equation looks like this: 15/100. Since we know that 100% is a whole so pretty much 15/100 = 15 %
