Answer 2

200 is 10 times as much as 20

Explanation:

Let the number be y

as per the condition 200 is 10 times as much as y.

Solve for y:

10 times as much as x represents as
`10 * y =10y`

Then;

200 = 10y ......[1]

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide by 10 to both sides in equation [1];

`(200)/(10)=(10y)/(10)`

Simplify:

y= 20

Therefore, 200 is 10 times as much as 20.
