4/5 of a number is 32

Find the number.

The number is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We will set up an equation where 4/5 is being multiply by the number to get 32. we will represent that number  by x

4/5 * x = 32    solve for x

4/5x = 32  

0.8x = 32

 x = 40  

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know 32 is 4/5 of a number divide 32 by 4 to get 1/5

32/4=8, so now you have 1/5 of the number and 5*1/5=1 so just multiply 1/5, in this case 8, by 5 to get the whole number.

8*5=40, this is how you know the whole number is 40.
