Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply 3 to both sides.
(x/3)(3) = 3(3)
x = 3(3)
x = 3 * 3
x = 9

Getting 10% a month is the best option if she put $500 in. That would be $50 the first month. $55 the second month etc. -- which would be more than the $500 in answer 1.
This can be done algebraically:
300*x=330 Where x is the multiplier
Therefore x=330/300=1.1
To find a percentage of a number you multiply by the percentage divided by 100.
So 330 is 110% of 300, which is an increase of 10%.
