Answer:

24 monkeys are in the tree

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve it by writing [tex]\frac{60}{100}[/tex] times [tex]\frac{40}{1}[/tex]

Why is it over 100? Because every percent is out of 100!

[tex]\frac{60}{100}[/tex] X [tex]\frac{40}{1}[/tex] (your equation)

60 times 40 = 2400 and 100 times 1 = 100, We get, [tex]\frac{2400}{100}[/tex],

Lastly, we simplify the fraction by 100 on each side:

[tex]\frac{2400}{100}[/tex] / [tex]\frac{100}{100}[/tex]

you get 24
