So I know that my number is 215, and this number is 80%. How do I figure out my total? I just want to know how to do it:)

Answer 1

0.8x = 215

Answer 2

So would I divide 215 by .8?

Answer 3

If what you are asking is "80% of what number is 215?", then yes.

Answer 4

Right.

Does your answer make sense?

Answer 5

So I got 268.75. If I did the same equation but the number was 450. Would the answer be 562.5?

Answer 6

Yes it would. Are you all set?

Answer 7

yes:) Thank you very much for your time! I appreciate gravely as I am doing an assignment in English and needed to know how to do the math for my essay, which was determining a graph and stuff like that, and I want a good grade so I'm doing a big essay with a lot of details! Very thankful! As I just said Thank you very much for your time Ms, Sue and AJ L:)
