Answer:

20%

Explanation:

You want to find what percent of 400,000 is 80,000.

Equation

The given relation can be expressed as ...

what% × 400,000 = 80,000

Solution

Using the equivalence of % and /100, this can be written ...

what/100 × 400,000 = 80,000

Simplifying, this is ...

what × 4,000 = 80,000

Dividing by the coefficient of the variable gives ...

what = 80,000/4,000 = 80/4 = 20

Then your answer is ...

what% = 20%

The missing number is 20%.
