What is 40% of 80?

Can someone help with question and do an explanation on how you got the answer.

Answer 1

80/x=100/40
(80/x)*x=(100/40)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80=2.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5) to get x
80/2.5=x
32=x
x=32

now we have:
40% of 80=32
