What Divided by 80 Equals 33?
Methods
Setting up the problem:
In a problem like this, the โwhatโ means that weโre working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is โxโ. So, we could say what number, x, when divided by 80, equals 33?
Solving What Divided by 80 Equals 33
Hereโs how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
80
=
33
\frac{x}{80} = 33
80 x โ = 33
The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 80, resulting in this equation:
x
=
33
โ
80
x = 33*80
x = 33 โ 80
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
2640
x = 2640
x = 2640
So, the answer to the question โWhat divided by 80 equals 33?โ is 2640.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
80
=
33
\frac{x}{80} = 33
80 x โ = 33
And insert 2640 in the place of x:
2640
80
=
33
\frac{2640}{80} = 33
80 2640 โ = 33
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
