160% * ? = 40

40 : 160% = 40 : (160 : 100) = (100 * 40) : 160 = 4,000 : 160 = 25.

The answer is 25.

Jamya Mccormick · Answer 2

writing this in equation form you have 160% times X = 40

so 160% * x = 40

160% as a decimal = 1.60

so 1.60 * x = 40

to find x divide both sides by 1.6

40 / 1.6 = 25

the number is 25
