A bakery has 36 glazed donuts on display. This is 80% of the total number of donuts. What is the total number of donuts in the bakery?

45

Step-by-step explanation:

% means out of 100, so 80% is 80/100

Let's divide 100/80 to find a scale we can use to multiply 36, 100/80 =

36 times 1.25 = 45

There's 45 donuts

Double check:

45(80/100) = 36, we're right

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
