A:
85 is 20% of what number?
85 = 20% Γ— n
85 = .20n
85/.20 = .20n/.20
[n = 425]

81 is 18% of what number?
81 = 18% Γ— n
81 = .18n
81/.18 = 18n/.18
[n = 450]

What number is 40% of 135?
n = 40% Γ— 135
n = .40Γ—135 = 54

Olivia wants to walk 8000 steps today. She walked 45% of this total before lunch.
How many steps did Olivia walk before lunch?
