Given

$Expression = 40\% * 75$

$Priya = \frac{2}{5} * 75$

Required

Is Priya correct?

We start by simplifying the expression.

$Expression = 40\% * 75$

Express 40% as fraction

$Expression = \frac{40}{100} * 75$

Simplify fraction: Divide numerator and denominator by 20

$Expression = \frac{40/20}{100/20} * 75$

$Expression = \frac{2}{5} * 75$

By comparing:

$Expression = \frac{2}{5} * 75$

and

$Priya = \frac{2}{5} * 75$

We can conclude that Priya is correct because:

$40\% = \frac{2}{5}$
