3/5 people means 60% prefer televisions.
60% of 5000 is equal to 0.6*5000=3000
Final answer: D
Step 1: Distribute. On the right side, you should get =2x-4
Step 2: Add all common bases. You should get 4x-5 on the left side
Step 3: Add on each side. For example, add five to each side of the equation. Your equation should look like this; 4x= 2x+1
Step 4: Subtract each x number by 2x. Your equation should be; 2x=1
Step 5: Divide each side by two. Your answer should be x=1/2 or x=0.5
Hope this helped!
Let the required no. be x
Then the equation is-
(150/100)x = 750
=> x = 750 × (100/150)
=> x = 500
Ans- 750 is 150 percent of 500.
