3.78 x 10^9 = 3780000000 = 3,780,000,000
3,780,000,000 / 14,000 = 270,000
270,000 = 2.7 x 10^5
Percent sold=sold/original times 100
sold=816
original=850
percent sold=816/850 times 100
percent sold=0.96 times 100
percent sold=96%
So you swap sides and you have 3x=93 and then you divide 3 by 93 and you get x=31
