The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"
translates to 0.15 • (4x) = x – 20
Solving that…
0.15(4x) = x - 20 multiplipy 0.15•4
0.6x = x - 20 subtract x from both sides
-0.4x = - 20 divide both sides by -0.4
x = 50
The answer is 30 because you put 21/x= 70/100
you cross multiply 100 and 21 you get 2100 and you divide it by 70 you should get 30 cause you take out one 0 from both numbers and end up with 210 divided by 7 then you get 30
the estimates or correct answer is 24/5 =4 4/5
