Bess [88]3 years ago

The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"

translates to    0.15 • (4x)  = x – 20

Solving that…

    0.15(4x) = x - 20           multiplipy 0.15•4

          0.6x = x - 20           subtract x from both sides

         -0.4x = - 20              divide both sides by -0.4

                x = 50

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

1000 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

Take total number of runners to be -----------x

90% of x managed to complete the marathon= 90/100 × x =0.9x

30% of those who completed the marathon were men= 30% × 0.9x

=0.3×0.9x= 0.27x

=270 men completed the marathon; this means

0.27x=270--------------------------------find x by dividing both sides by 0.27

x= 270/0.27

x=1000 runners
