if you have 80 boxes then 40% of boxes is the number 32 , 80-32=48 so you would order 48 boxes

We must order 48 boxes this month.

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number that is a fraction out of hundred. It is given by "%".

We have to find the value of 40% of 80 boxes.

This can be found as shown below:

40% of 80 boxes = 40/100 * 80 boxes

= 4 * 8 boxes

= 32 boxes

We have to reduce the number of boxes ordered by 40%. Therefore we must subtract 32 from 80. It can be done as shown below:

80 - 32 = 48 boxes

Therefore we have found that we must order 48 boxes this month.
