Answer:
x = 11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 = 0.8x - 15
Add 15 to both sides;
-6 + 15 = 0.8x - 15 + 15
9 = 0.8x
Divide both sides by 0.8;
x = 11.25
17.4736843 or 17 remainder 45
'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication
percent means over 100
84 = 74% * x
84 = 74/100 * x
84 = 37/50 * x
Multiply 50/37 on both sides, so we can isolate 'x'
85 * 50/37 = x
x = 4250/37
x ≈ 114.864865
84 is 74 percent of <span>114.86</span>.
