Question

In the equation 0.80p = 320 what do 0.80,p, and 320 represent

Answer 1

320 would not be correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

First of all, the variable
`p` represents an unknown quantity, it could stand for "population", but we don't exactly, we just can say that it's an unknown quantity that can variate.

In second place, 0.80 means a portion of the variable
`p`, in this case, it represents an 80%, so the expression
`0.80p`, expresses the 80% of
`p`.

At last, 320 represent the result of the 80% of
`p`.

So, we can say that the expression states

"The 80% of p is 320".
