Myla is the editor of her school's newspaper. She wants 15% of the articles in the next edition of the paper to be about her school's sports teams. If there are 40 articles in the next edition of the paper, how many of those articles should be about the school's sports teams?
15% of 40 articles is 0.15 * 40 = 6 articles.
Therefore, 6 of the articles in the next edition of the paper should be about the school's sports teams.
