The answer is 8.45498149331, you can round it to the nearest thousandths place though, too.
Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
(80/100) * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56 * 5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
= 70
The value of the unknown number is 70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the calculation part.
Not really sure what you mean by compare. The only thing I can think of is the y intercept is generally a good point to start from to count the rise/run
