If you would do this in whole number form, it'll be 40/7.
Y= 0.8x - 17
x= (y+17)/0.8
substituting y= 47 in the equation
x= (47+17)/0.8
x= 64/0.8
x=80
<span>You divide the top of the fraction by the bottom and t<span>hen multiply it by 100.
Example : 1/4
-you do 1 divied by 4 = 0.25
-then you mutiply 0.25 by 100
-and you will get : 25%
