Answer 1

To answer this question we have to write an equation:

The unknown number (x) multiplied by the percentage in decimal form ( 0.2 divided by 100) must be equal to 32.

x (0.2/100)=32

Solve for x:

x ( 0.002)=32

x= 32/0.002

x= 16,000

The answer is 16,000.

The number will be a lot greater than 32 because it's only 0.2% of the number.
