Answer:
52/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use basic Thales therom,

Cross multiply,
3*(5x-8)=4*(3x+7)
3*5x - 3*8 = 4*3x + 4*7
15x - 24 = 12x +28
Add 24 to both sides
15x = 12x + 28 + 24
15x = 12x + 52
Subtract 12x from both sides
15x-12x =52
3x = 52
Divide both sides by 3
x = 52/3
6 times (7+5) plus 3 or 6x(7+5)+3
The answer/sum should be 96.466
27-18= 9
9/18 x100= 50
