X=2
you multiply by 8 on both sides. so that your equation now looks like x-2=0
then you will add by 2 on both sides.
x=2
The answer to this question should be 114
9, 2, -5... so is going down by 7 each time, meaning the "common difference" is -7.
It is important to do the
calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this
problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
= 550/4
= 137.5
So
55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future
you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from
outside.This is the simplest way of solving such
problems.
