What value divided by 80 equals 9?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 9?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 9 = 720
To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 80:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 9 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 9, the dividend is 720.
