So I know that my number is 215, and this number is 80%. How do I figure out my total? I just want to know how to do it:)

Yes it would. Are you all set?

You are welcome. I've discovered this website not too long ago and decided to help others here. If you are all set, then I hope you do well!

You are very welcome.

0.8x = 215

Right.

Does your answer make sense?

So would I divide 215 by .8?

If what you are asking is "80% of what number is 215?", then yes.

So I got 268.75. If I did the same equation but the number was 450. Would the answer be 562.5?

yes:) Thank you very much for your time! I appreciate gravely as I am doing an assignment in English and needed to know how to do the math for my essay, which was determining a graph and stuff like that, and I want a good grade so I'm doing a big essay with a lot of details! Very thankful! As I just said Thank you very much for your time Ms, Sue and AJ L:)

Thank you very much:)
