What value divided by 99 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 20 = 1980
To prove this, let's compute 1980 divided by 99:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 1980.
