80% of the same number is 32.
How to find the percentage of a number?
To find 80% of a number when 20% of the same number is 8, we can use the relationship between 20% and 80%. If 20% of the number is 8, then the number itself is 100%. We can set up a proportion to find 80% of the number.
Let the number be x. We have:
20% of x = 8
This can be written as:
0.20x = 8
Solving for x, we get:
x = 8 / 0.20
x = 40
Now, to find 80% of the number, we calculate:
80% of 40 = 0.80 * 40 = 32
Therefore, 80% of the number is 32.
