Answer 1

i forgot how to do it lol

Answer 2

You want to find 20% of what is 75.

Answer 3

so 20/75?

Answer 4

We can write the equation: \( \sf 0.20x = 75\).

Can you solve that for \(x\)?

Answer 5

yes i can haha sorry

Answer 6

"You want to find 20% of what number is 75."

Remember the word 'of' means multiplication.

'what number' would be 'x'.

'is' would be the equal sign.

That is how we make our equation \(\sf 0.20x = 75\).
