You can put this solution on YOUR website! "Attendance at the big game was only 80% of last year's attendance, but that still means 12,000 people showed up." how many people showed up last year?
:
Let x = no. of people last year
change 80% to the decimal equiv; .80, then
.80x = 12000
x = 12000/.8
x = 15,000 people last year

As a matter of fact, I did have a nice day :), thanks
