To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation. However, first we need to convert the percentages to decimals by dividing by 100.
15% = 0.15 , 7.5% = 0.075
Now, we should substitute in our given information into our equation and let our unknown value be equal to the variable x.
0.15(500) = 0.075x
Then, we should simplify our equation by multiplying together the two factors on the left side of the equation.
75 = 0.075x
Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 0.075 to get the variable x alone.
x = 1000
Therefore, your answer is 1000.
Hope this helps!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
n = 5
Discussion:
Let the original number be "n" Translating the problem statement to mathematical symbolism:
n + 4 = 19 - 2n => add 2n to both sides
n + 2n + 4 = 19 - 2n + 2n => combine like terms
3n + 4 = 19 => subtract 4 from both sides
3n = 19 -4 = 15 => divide both sides by 3
n = 15/3 =5
Check: Does 5 +4 = 19 - 2(5)? Does 9 = 9? Yes. so the value for n is confirmed correct.
Thank you,
MrB
the answer is 70,000+3,000+400+80+9
