Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find percent, you can set up the fraction 2/5 to the equation x/100.

[tex]\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Then solve using algebra to cross-multiply.

[tex](2*100)=(x*5)[/tex]

[tex]200 = 5x[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{200}{5} = 40[/tex]

so the answer is 40%.
