Answer:

Option B is correct.

Twenty-two is 40 percent of 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

As per the statement:

Twenty-two is x percent of 55

Solve for x:

Twenty-two is x percent of 55

"of" means multiply

⇒\(22 = \frac{x}{100} \times 55\)

Divide both sides by 55 we get;

\(\frac{22}{55} = \frac{x}{100}\)

Simplify:

\(\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{100}\)

Multiply both sides by 100 we have;l

\(x = \frac{2}{5} \times 100\)

Simplify:

x = 40%

Therefore, Twenty-two is 40 percent of 55
