Hey there

Lets solve this question together, 

Convert 76.8% to a decimal.

\(0.768 * x=40.32\) 

Multiply 0.768 by x to get 0.768x. 

\(0.768x=40.32\) 

Multiply each term by 1 / 0.768 and simplify.

Cancel the common factor of 0.768.

\(x=40.32 / 0.768\) 

Divide 40.32 by 0.768 to get 52.5 

\(x=52.5\) 

To answer this question, let x be the unknown number. From the given, the product of the number, x, and the decimal equivalent of the given percentage, 76.8%, is equal to 40.32. Mathematically,
                               (0.768)(x) = 40.32
The value of x from the equation is 52.5.
