$1.88 is our amount after the 380% is added!
$1.88 - 380%*x = x
Note, that when you are working with percents in a problem you need to convert the percent into a decimal value in order to properly work with it in an equation like the one above.
So, it will look like this:
$1.88 - 3.8x = x
Now onto explaining how I derived this equation in the first place, because it doesn't help you if you don't know how to do it yourself.
How a percent problem works is if you are taking some original price x, and increasing it by 380% you would take 380% of the item, and then adding it to the item. To take 380% of an item you would need to multiply the number by 380% (3.8). So, if you translate that into math it looks like this:
x + 380%*x = y
Y, in this case is $1.88. In other words it is the price AFTER you've added 380% to the cost. So I started to solve for x by subtracting 380%*x on both sides leaving us with this:
$1.88 - 3.8x = x
We need to solve the equation for x by adding 3.8x on both sides.
$1.88 = 3.8x + x
Combine like terms.
$1.88 = 4.8x
Divide both sides by 4.8.
$1.88/4.8 = x
So our original price is $1.88/4.8!
The question asks for the 380% * x part of the problem.
So we take our answer and multiply it by 3.8.
($1.88/4.8)*3.8 = $1.49 mark up!
In the given question, it is already mentioned that Pam takes 15 minutes to type 2.5 pages. this information should be used as the main information for reaching the desired answer.
Pam typed 2.5 pages in = 15 minutes
Then time taken by Pam to type 23 pages = (15/2.5) * 23
= 345/2.5
= 3450/25
= 138
So Pam will take 138 minutes to type 23 pages
