  1. 136+34= 170 total concertgoers. If we divide 170 by 85, we get 2; so each percentage point equals 2. Multiply 2 by a hundred and you get 200 people in total
     
    2. Is this question to solve for X? in that case, we can solve it easier in the form \(\frac{40}{100} = \frac{32}{x}\)

    then we try and dive them the same numerator by multiplying each by the other: \(\frac{12800}{32000} = \frac{12800}{40x}\)

    This tells us that \(32000 = 40x\)

    so \(x=80\).
