If 32% of a number is 64, what is the number?

Answer 1

let x be the number

32% of x is 64

change 32% to decimal

"of" becomes "*"

"is" becomes "="

0.32 * x = 64

x = 64/0.32 = 200

Answer 2

32% of X is 64

0.32 X = 64

32X = 6400

X = 200

or using fractions

(32/100) * X = 64

X = 64*100/32 = 200

The original principal is 200.
