Question

One month, a music site observed that 60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded Q Sam's latest single. The equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who downloaded songs from the site that month: x = 0.6x + 384 How many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single?

Answer 1

Answer:

576 People

Solving:

If the total number of people that downloaded songs from the site ( 100% ) equals "x," and 60% of "x" plus 384 equals "x," 384 must be 40% of "x" to add up to 100% ( the percentage of people "x" represents ).

384 / 40% = 960 = x

x = 0.6 ( x ) + 384

960 = 0.6 ( 960 ) + 384

960 * 60% = 576 people
