You can put this solution on YOUR website!
another way of asking this question would be... \"20 is 80 percent of what number\" ?
\n" ); document.write( "80/100 = 20/x
\n" ); document.write( "reduce to lowest terms...
\n" ); document.write( "4/5 = 20/x
\n" ); document.write( "this makes it a little easier to figure out...
\n" ); document.write( "divide 20 by 4, then multiply by 5 to get 25
\n" ); document.write( "so there were 25 questions on the test
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
