Question

Adding 15 percent of x to x is equivalent to multiplying x by

Answer 1

Hey :)

15% of x is 15/100*x
15x/100+x
= 15x/100+100x/100
= 115x/100
= <23x/20>
= 23x/20*1/x
= 23/20

So, it is equal to multiplying x by 23/20.

Hope it helps! :)

Answer:

The answer is 1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement

Adding 15 percent of x to x is equivalent to multiplying x by ___

We have to find the value of missing number

Let the missing number is A

A/Q

$(15\% of x)+x=x\times A$

$(\frac{15}{100}\times x)+x=Ax$

$x(\frac{15}{100}+1)=Ax$

$A=\frac{115}{100}=1.15$

Hence, the answer is 1.15
