Let x be the unknown number
x×55%=121
x=121÷55%
x=220
So 121 is 55% of 220
I'm guessing that this problem is talking about a loan of some sort. So basically, let's look at the given. In the problem, Leon is charged a fee of 75. The interest rate would be 12.5 % if he doesn't pay his due amount. So in order to get the total amount that he has to pay if he doesn't pay on time, you just need to multiply 75 with 12.5% or simply 0.125. If you do this, you will get 9.375. After that, you add 9.375 to the principal amount which is 75 and you will get 84.375. So Leon has to now pay a total of 84.375.
25.3 is what i got for the first image.
Note on how to solve such equation:
This is a quadradic equation. The figure shown is a parabola. This parabola opens downward. Now, this information is not necessary important for this particular situation; however, it needs to be retained for said class or for the near future.
The equation for a quadradic function is: f(x)=x^2+2
when x=-2, y=1
