Question

If X + 50% of x = 99 what is X?

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 66

Step-by-step explanation:

if you set up the equation mathematically, it would be x+0.5x=99, because 50% is essentially just 0.5.

so, now that you have the equation, you have to add like terms, so it would be 1x+0.5x=99, and 1+0.5 is 1.5, so youre left with the equation 1.5x=99.

from there, you solve for x by dividing each side by 1.5:

1.5x=99

/1.5   /1.5

x=66

im sorry if this didnt make much sense, but i hope this helped!! :D
