1/2x + 42 = 4x
-1/2x           -1/2x
------------------------
42 = 3.5x
/3.5   /3.5
------------------------
12 = x
the number is 12


explanation: 42 more than 1/2 of a number can be written as 1/2x + 42
four times a number can be written as 4x.
42 more than 1/2 of a number is equal to 4 times a number. So 1/2x + 42 = 4x.

Hope this helps :)

Sandra is a real estate agent and rams 5000 commission on the selling of a 62,000 house. what is the percent of commission she r
sveta [45]
To find a percent, you use this simple formula:
5000/62000 = x/100

In this case, x is going to be your percent of commission.

So, to find this, you first divide 5000 by 62000, which is about equal to 0.08.

Now your equation looks like this:
0.08 = x/100

Next, you multiply both sides by 100 to reverse the operation. Now, your equation will look like this:

8 = x

So, the answer is 8%.
