Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

Fractions, decimals, and percentages are all interrelated. In this case, let's first find a fraction that fits the question. Then let's convert to a decimal, and finally, a percentage.

We are asked what percentage of 33 is 40. As a fraction, this can be written as `40/33`. Now, we need to convert this to a decimal. You can divide using long division (or use a calculator) and you will obtain the decimal `1.2121`.

Our final step is to use the decimal that we have obtained, and to convert it to a percentage. To find the percentage, we simply take the decimal and multiply it by `100`.

Therefore, our answer is `121.21%`.

I hope that helps!
