This can be solved by multiplying 40% and 24. When multiplying with a percent, you have to convert it to a decimal. 40% as a decimal is 0.40. Therefore, you have to do 24 x 0.40.
<span>Scott read 4. Put it this way: x=4. If = 4, then put it into an equation. 5x-3= 17. So, you add three to both sides, then it comes out as this: 5x= 20. Divide by five, and you get x= 4.</span>
