so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on
so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)
thus (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)
solve for "x"
Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the 5-n you have to do the opposite which is division.
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that.
Hope this helps!
