If you would like to know what percent is 27.30 of 36.40, you can calculate this using the following steps:
x% of 36.40 = 27.30
x/100 * 36.40 = 27.30
x/100 = 27.30/36.40
x = 27.30/36.40 * 100
x = 75
To check: 75% * 36.40 = 75/100 * 36.40 = 27.30
The correct result is 75%.
Answer:
Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.
Correct solution:
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
8x-24+7=8x-34x
-17=-34x
The negatives on both sides cancel each other out
x = 1/2
