A popular Web site reached 7.5 million users during the week of March 7, 2011. This number represents a 33 percent increase from the week before. How many users did the Web site have the week before?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.7 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of users be x

x + 33% of x = 7.5 million

x + 0.33x = 7.5 million

1.33x = 7.5

x = 7.5/1.33

x = 5.7 million
