32 is 40 percent of what number?
A.12.8
B.128
C.80
D.800

And explanation why?

Answer 1

C. 80. Explanation: you chance 40% into .4 so the equation is .4 x 80=32

Answer 2

1) 32 = 40%
so 1% = 0.8 (32 divide by 40)
so 100% = 80 (x 100)
The answer is C.

Answer 3

32 is 40% of 80; 32 / 0.40 = 80

Answer 4

if 32 is 40% of "n", so "n" is 100%
what's "n"?
\(\large \begin{array}{cclll}
quantity&percentage\\
32&40\\
n&100\\
\hline\\
\cfrac{32}{n}= \cfrac{40}{100}


\end{array}\)

solve for "n"
