Best Answer

OK, here is how you do this problem:

Type: 40 into your calculator.

Next: press the division button.

Next: type 72 into your calculator.

Next: see that the answer is: .5556 in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundred thousandth.

Next: move the decimal over to the RIGHT two spaces to put it in terms of percentage.

The answer is: 55.56%

That is how it is done.
