We set up a proportion: 80/?= 32/100
Cross multiply: 32*?= 80*100
⇒ ?= 80*100/32= 250
80 is 32% of 250.
Answer:
b. 4x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:

The other equations:
8 x 8 does equal 64
10 x 8 does equal 80
9 x 8 does equal 72
It's pretty simple once you try each problem first
Hope this helps!
