Question

What the 20% of 64,000

Answer 1

Step 1: Our output value is 64000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x

Step 3: From step 1 above, $64000 = 100%

Step 4: Similarly, x = 20%

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$64000=100%(1)

x=20%(2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

64000/x = 100%/20%
64000

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/64000 = 20/100

x = 12800

Therefore, $20 of 64000​ is 12800

Answer 2

Answer: 12,800

Explanation:

To find 20% of 64,000, we will turn 20% into a decimal and then multiply. In math, the term "of" usually means multiplication.

20% / 100 = 0.2

64,000 * 0.2 = 12,800

20% of 64,000 is 12,800.
