Question

32 is 20% of what number?
A) 64
B)89
C)128
D)160

Answer 1

D, 160

Explanation:

Hello!

To find the answer to this question, we have can represent any number as "n."

Since 20% is the same as
`(20)/(100)`, we have:

`(20)/(100)` * n = 32

Now we multiply both sides by 100 to get rid of the fraction:

20n = 3200

And divide both sides by 20:

n = 160.

Thus, the answer is
`\boxed{160{\text{\:or\:D.}}}`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

D) 160

Explanation:

20% × n = 32

20 /100 × n = 32

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 20,

n = 32 × 100 /20

n = 160
