Explanation:
Turn this word problem into an equation. Here are a couple hints to remember:
- The word "is" means "equals", so wherever you see "is", use a
#=# sign. - Likewise, the word "of" means "multiplication", so use a
#xx# sign when you see that word. - Given variables to things you don't know. Since the percent is not known, give it the variable
#x# . - A percent is a number over a hundred. Since the percent is not known, put
#x# over 100:#x/100#
#uarr# (anything divided by 1 is itself, so putting 80 over 1 does not change it's value)
