Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "Couple hints might help you solve future problems. The words \"is\" usually means in math \"equal\" and the word \"of\" usually means \"multiply\". So in this problem: 325 is 80% of what number (x) we can set up this equation as:
\n" ); document.write( "325=.80(x)
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by .8 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x=406.25
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
