89 times what equals 80?

89 times what equals 80? In other words, what do you multiply by 89 to get 80? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "89 times what equals 80?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

89 • x = 80

Which can be written as:

89x = 80

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 89 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 89.

89x/89 = 80/89
