eighty percent 80% is also written in decimal form as .80 of what number will become our x value and is what we are trying to find. Therefore you now have .80x is 33.6 the "is" in the above statement then becomes an equal sign .80x=33.6 solve for x by dividing both sides by .80 x = 33.6/.80 = 42 Simple enough to check by ask the question if I multiple .80 by 42 do I get 33.6 ....well of course you do.

lets call Y that number
than 0.8 x Y=33.6
dividing both sides by 0.8 we get Y= 33.6/0.8 Y= 42

As u know that " is/of=%/100
33.6/x=80/100
=> 80x=33.6*100
=> 80x=3360
=> x=3360/80
=> x= 42
Good luck :)
