To find the number, we can set up an equation: let x be the number. The equation can be written as 40 = 0.8x (since 40 is 80% of the number x). To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.8, which gives x = 50 / 0.8 = 62.5. Therefore, the number is 62.5.

50% of 80 = 40 because 50% = 0.5 0.5 x 80 = 40 or you can divide 40 by 0.5 40/0.5 = 80
To 'back-calculate' a percentage such as this, you divide the number by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. * 40% = 0.4 So, 50 ÷ 0.4 = 125
50
Well, let's think about this together. If we start with the number 40 and add 10 more, we get 50. So, the number that is 10 more than 40 is 50. Isn't it wonderful how numbers can come together like colors on a canvas to create something beautiful?
