What value divided by 80 equals 27?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 27?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 27 = 2160
To prove this, let's compute 2160 divided by 80:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 27 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 27, the dividend is 2160.
