76 is 80% of what number?

1 answer

To find the number of which 76 is 80%, you can set up the equation as follows:

Let \( x \) be the number you are looking for. Then, you have:

\[ 76 = 0.8x \]

To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 0.8:

\[ x = \frac{76}{0.8} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 95 \]

Therefore, 76 is 80% of 95.
