Answer 2

Answer:

32 is 40% of 80

Explanation:

Let the number = n

According to the problem given,

40% of n = 32

=> 40% × n = 32

$\implies \frac{40}{100}\times n = 32$

/* % = $\frac{1}{100}$ */

$\implies n = 32 \times \frac{100}{40}$

$\implies n = 8 \times 10$

$\implies n = 80$

Therefore,

32 is 40% of 80
