Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x stand for the "mystery number" you are trying to find.

 75% of x plus 75 = x

 0.75x + 75 = x

 Bring the variable terms to the left side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides.

-0.25x + 75 = 0

 Bring the constant terms to the right side by subtracting 75 from both sides.

-0.25x = -75

 Divide both sides by -0.25

 x = 300
