Jaylen Schneider · Answer 1

So we want to know the number from which we take 25% and get 80. If the number we are looking for is x, then the equation to find that x would be: (25/100) * x=80 which says twenty five percent out of x is equal 80. So, x = (80*100) / 25. And finally, x = 8000/25=320. So, 25% out of 320 is 80.
