linear equations​

Answer 1

Given:

a + 15% of a = 46

To find:

The value of a.

Solution:

a + 15% of a = 46

or, a + 15/100 × a = 46

or, a + 15a/100 = 46

or, (100a + 15a)/100 = 46

or, 115a/100 = 46

or, 115a = 46 × 100

or, 115a = 4600

or, a = 4600/115

or, a = 40

Hence:

The value of a is 40.
