You can solve this one quite easily.

Think of it in these terms:

What number would I have to multiply 320 by to get 180???

Then we can set up an equation!

320%2Ax=180

x=180%2F320

x=0.5625

And now we just need to change our result into a percentage!

This is done simply by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right, and adding a percent sign:

56.25%

180 is 56.25% of 320

I hope this helps! :)
