160% of ___is 32.
Explain your method.

Answer 1

51.2

Its easy, when you have a percent equation you get rid of the percent and divide the number (160 in this case) by 100, so you get 1.6, then you take that number and multiply it by the other number in the equasion (32) and you get 51.2

I'm not very good at explaining stuff like this but I hope it helps
