What value divided by 80 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 15 = 1200
To prove this, let's compute 1200 divided by 80:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 15 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 15, the dividend is 1200.
