Fill in the missing number.

Question

80% of
= 56

Answer 1

To find the missing number \( x \) in the equation \( 80% \text{ of } x = 56 \), you can set up the equation as follows:

\[ 0.8x = 56 \]

Now, solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.8:

\[ x = \frac{56}{0.8} \]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[ x = 70 \]

So, the missing number is 70.
