Question

How do you figure out 32 is 40 percent of what number?

Answer 1

Answer:-

Solution:-

Percentages can always be written as a direct proportion:

Let the number be x.

According to question,

40% of x=32

40x/100=32

40x=32×100

x= 32×100/40

we can also write an equation and solve it:

x=3200/40=80

Thus, the required no. is 80.
