Solution

To find out how many grapes Jenny uses for the fruit salad, you need to calculate 40% of 63.

Here are the steps:

  1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. So, 40% becomes 0.40.

  2. Multiply the total number of grapes (63) by the decimal.

So, 63 * 0.40 = 25.2

Since we can't have a fraction of a grape in the salad, we need to round this number.

Since the decimal part .2 is less than .5, we round down to the nearest whole number.

So, Jenny uses 25 grapes for the fruit salad.
