Let's call our missing number x. Expressing this in terms of an equation, we get 40 = 80% * x Since a percentage is just the percent number divided by 100, we have:
40 =
80x
100
Multiply both sides of the equation through by 100 and simplify:
40 * 100 =
80 * 100x
100
4000 = 80x
Since we want to solve for our missing number x, divide each side of the equation by 80
4000
80
=
80x
80
Cancel both 80 and simplify:
4000
80
=
80x
80
x =
4000
80
Therefore, our missing number x = 50 Now we know that 40 is 80 percent (%) of 50.
