This is a proportion problem that involves cross-multiplication
Set your problem up like so:
\frac{x}{2,000} = \frac{3}{5}

Now cross multiply
2,000 x 3 = 6,000
now you're left with 5x = 6,000
Now divide by 5 on both sides

The attendance at a family reunion was 160 people. This was 125% of last year's attendance. How many people attended the reunion
Alex787 [66]
If you would like to know how many people attended the reunion last year, you can calculate this using the following steps:

125% of last year's attendance is 160 people
125% of x is 160
125% * x = 160
125/100 * x = 160     /*100/125
x = 160 * 100 / 125
x = 128 people (last year)

Result: 128 people attended the reunion last year.
