What value divided by 20 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 85 = 1700

To prove this, let's compute 1700 divided by 20: 1700 20 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 85
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 85 = 1700

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 1700.
