Question

32% of what number is 80?

Answer 1

250

Explanation:

We can use the equation Px = y to find the number, which means

• P% of x is y,
• and P is the percentage as a decimal.

Since 80 is the "is" value and 32 is the percentage, we can find the "of" value by substituting 80 for y and 0.32 for P:

(0.32x = 80) / 0.32

x = 250

Thus, 32% of 250 is 80.
