Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You will set the equation up as part/whole = percent/100 and when you replace it with your numbers you get 60/x = 80/100 now you cross multiply and do 60*100 = 80 * x and you get 6,000 = 80x now you divide both sides by 80 then you get 75 was the original price

If the fraction 414/x-10 is equivalent to -23 , find the value of x. Show your work. Use reasoning to find x.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x by getting rid of the fraction.

414/(x-10) = -23

414 = -23(x-10)

414 = -23x + 230

184 = -23x

-8 = x
