Question

The attendance at a family reunion was 160 people. This was 125% of last year's attendance. How many people attended the reunion last year.

Answer 1

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.
