What value divided by 80 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 10 = 800
To prove this, let's compute 800 divided by 80:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 80:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 80 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 800.
