Answer 2

The whole quantity = 1600

Given :

5% of a quantity is 80

To find :

The whole quantity

Solution :

Step 1 of 2 :

Form the equation

Let the whole quantity = N

By the given condition

$\displaystyle \sf{ N \times \frac{5}{100} = 80 }$

Step 2 of 2 :

Find the whole quantity

$\displaystyle \sf{ N \times \frac{5}{100} = 80 }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies N = 80 \times \frac{100}{5} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies N = 80 \times 20}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies N = 1600}$

The whole quantity = 1600
