Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use benchmark fractions
What is 10% of 40?
that's 40/10 which is 4
What is half of 4?
4/2 = 2
That means 5% of 40 is 2
So then we do 40 - 2 = 38
The other way we can do it is by using percent proportions:
[tex]\frac{x}{95} \frac{40}{100} \\do:\\x=\frac{95 * 40}{100}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{3800}{100}[/tex]
[tex]x=38[/tex]
