Montgomery · Answer 1

We are given: The number of bands in the chicken soup county battles of the bands = 40.

The percentage of the all virus state finals will compete = 15% of the total number of bands given.

We have given 40 number of bands.

Therefore, the bands will compete in the finals = 15% of 40.

15% can be written as 0.15.

Therefore, 15% of 40 = 0.15 * 40 = 6.

Therefore, 6 bands will compete in the finals.
