How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 8/10 of 95, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{8}{10}=\frac{x}{95}$ (where x represents 8/10 of 95)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $8\times 95=10x$
2. Which gives: $760=10x$
3. Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x: $\frac{760}{10}=\frac{10x}{10}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{760}{10}=x$ (or $\frac{76}{1}=x$)

Thus, 8/10 of 95 is equal to 76/1 (or 76 in its decimal form).
