Solve Equations with Decimals · Exercise 72

Think about solving the equation $0.8 x = 200,$ but do not actually solve it. Do you think the solution should be greater than $200$ or less than $200 ?$ Explain your reasoning. Then solve the equation to see if your thinking was correct.

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
