If you need further help on how they got the answer, this equation will take more time, but it will also help you understand these types of problems. Part÷Whole=Percent÷100 Part= X because it is what you are trying to find. Whole=250 because it is what you are taking the percentage of. Percent=80 Now you have: X÷250=80÷100 Set this up in fraction form and cross multiply. You get: 100x=250×80 250×80=20,000 100x=20,000 X=200
