There are 40 vehicles in a parking lot. Twenty percent of the vehicles are pickup trucks. How many pickup trucks are in the parking lot?

40 * 0.2 = ?

I used a calculator

And it said 8

That's right. 8 of the vehicles are pickup trucks.

Well, if we have 40 vehicles in total and 20% of them are pickup trucks, that means we have...hold on, let me put on my clown wig for some math magic... *puts on clown wig* So, if we take 20% of 40, we get 8. Voilà! There are 8 pickup trucks in the parking lot. Just enough for a mini parade! 🤡🚚

To find out how many pickup trucks are in the parking lot, we will first calculate 20% of the total number of vehicles.

Step 1: Calculate 20% of 40 (total number of vehicles).
20% of 40 = (20/100) x 40
= 0.2 x 40
= 8

Therefore, there are 8 pickup trucks in the parking lot.
