64 is 8% of what number? Show how you got the answer.?

Question

Please help with this problem. If you do not want to give me the answer, then explain the steps to get the answer. I cannot figure this out.

Answer 1

64/x=8/100
8x=6400
x=800

Answer 2

64 is 8% of what number?

Read the problem, and create the equation as you go along.

64... that's easy, write it down
is... that means "equals" so write down "="
>so far we have... 64 =
8%... 8% we have to convert to a real number. To convert a percentage a real number you have to divide it by 100. 8% would be 8 divided by 100... (calculate on your own)

0.08
>so now we have 64 = 0.08
"of" that means multiply
"what number" we don't know, so we'll call it "X".
>now we have 64 = 0.08(X)
a number in parentheses means you multiply by that number, that's why X is in parentheses

64 = 0.08(X)

The left side of the equation, the 64 is already simplified.
The right side is 0.08(X). Not simplified.
If we divide it by 0.08 we will be left with X. We divide the left side by 0.08 too because we do the same things to both sides of the equation, remember?
So now we have....

64/0.08 = X

That's 64 over 0.08 = X. You can make the slash a straight line if it makes you read the problem better.

Since it's one number over another, divide the top number by the bottom number.

You do the math. You should end up with a number, which will make your equation look like:

[the number you got] = X
You've solved for X.

Answer 3

64 = 8%
32 = 4%
16 = 2%
8 = 1%

8 x 100(%) = 800

Answer 4

64 = 8%
x = 100%
=64*100\8=800

Answer 5

64 = .08 x N (N = the number we're looking for.

N = 64 divided by .08

N = 6400 divided by 8 ( I multiplied by 100 to get rid of the decimal)

Therefore, N = 800

Proof: 64 = .08 x 800
64 = 64

Answer 6

Translate the English sentence into a math sentence.

64 is 8% of what number?

64 = .08x

now divide both sides by .08

800=x

Answer 7

Set the problem up like this:
is/of=%/100
is=64,of=x,%=8 and you're ready to go:
64/x=8/100
8x=(64*100)
8x=6,400
x=800

Check:
(64/800)=(8/100)
.08=.08

Answer 8

64 times 100 divide by 800 gives you 8%
just do guess and check

Answer 9

So truthfully, you only make 2 fractions equivalent to a minimum of one yet another, with one variable to clean up for. 8% is 8 out of a a hundred, so the fraction could be 8/a hundred. sixty 4 is a proportion of yet another variety - making it smaller, so sixty 4 turns into the numerator, and the variable is in the denominator. sixty 4/x = 8/a hundred ok, so as a manner to pass from 8 to sixty 4 (in the numerators), you should multiply by ability of 8, good? So, you multiply a hundred by ability of 8 as a manner to get x (in the denominators)... sixty 4/800 = 8/a hundred x = 800 answer: 800 desire this helped, and solid success!! :)

Answer 10

64 is to 8 as
X is to 100

6400/8 = 800

Then 64 is 8% of 800.
