Answer 1

1 package contain 80 sheets of paper.

If there is 5 packages, there will be 'x' sheets of paper.

We replace the sheets of paper with 'x', because the value of x is unknown.

Now we set up the equation:

Sheets 80 x

__________ _________ = _________, solve for x;

Packages 1 5

80/1 = x/5

*5 *5

400 = x

Answer 2
