Answer 2

Given: $5\%\ of\ x=80$

We have to find the value of$x$.

• As we know that a percentage is a fraction of an amount is expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.
• It is denoted by a symbol%.
• For example, $5$% means$\frac{5}{100}$.
• By using the unitary method we are calculating the percentage of numbers.
• As we know fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.
• And percentages are reversible.  
• For example, $50 \% \ of\ 60$is the same as$60 \% \ of\ 50$.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$5\%\ of\ x=80$

We can write the above equation as:

$=>\frac{5}{100} \times x=80\\\\=>\frac{5x}{100} =80\\\\=>5x=80\times 100\\=>5x=8000\\\\=>x=\frac{8000}{5} \\\\=>x=1600$

Hence, the value of$x$ is$1600$.
