80% of 400
We can set up a proportion because it makes things more clear.
First, we need to assume that 400 is our '100'. Usually, 100 is our total value.
400/x=100/80
(400/x)x=(100/80)x
400=1.25x
400/1.25=x
320=x
x=320
Our final answer: 320
of in mathematics means multiplication
80% = 80/100 = 0.8
\(0.8 \times 400 = \boxed{320}\)
80% of 400 is 320.
