Answer:
192
Step-by-step explanation:
Now we have: 80 percent of 240 = 192
Question: What is 80 percent of 240?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: Our output value is 240.
Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1 above,$240=100\%$.
Step 4: Similarly, $x=80\%$.
Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:
$240=100\%(1)$.
$x=80\%(2)$.
Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{240}{x}=\frac{100\%}{80\%}$
Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
$\frac{x}{240}=\frac{80}{100}$
$\Rightarrow x=192$
Therefore, $80\%$ of $240$ is $192$
