Question

if 32% of a number is 64,what is the number

Answer 1

If $32\%$ or $\frac{32}{100}$ of number a is 64 we can write this equation as,

$a\cdot\dfrac{32}{100}=64$

Now just solve for a.

$32a=6400\Longrightarrow a=\dfrac{6400}{32}=\Large\boxed{200}$

That number is 200.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If we write out an equation using the question given, it will create
0.32x=64
0.32 represents 32%
x represents the number we need to find
the equals sign represents the “is” in the sentence

After that, we can solve the equation
You have to isolate the variable, x. And in order to do that, you have to divide both sides by 0.32. this leaves you with x=200.
