Question

x - 24% of x = 38

tell me plz​

Answer 1

LETS NUMBER BE X

24/100 × X = 38

12/50 × X = 38

6/25 × X = 38

X = 38 ÷6/25

X = 38 × 25/6

X = 19 × 25/3

X = 475/3

X = 158.3333......

Answer 2

$\rm x - 24 \% \ of \ x = 38$

• 24% = 24/100 or 6/25

$\rm\dashrightarrow x - \dfrac{6}{25} \ of \ x = 38$

• 6/25 of x = 6/25 × x or 6x/25

$\rm\dashrightarrow x - \dfrac{6}{25}x= 38$

• x with denominator 25 is 25x/25

$\rm\dashrightarrow \dfrac{25}{25}x - \dfrac{6}{25}x= 38$

$\rm\dashrightarrow \dfrac{25x - 6x}{25}= 38$

$\rm\dashrightarrow \dfrac{19x}{25}= 38$

$\rm\dashrightarrow 19x = 38 \times 25$

$\rm\dashrightarrow x = \dfrac{38 \times 25}{19}$

$\rm\dashrightarrow x = 2 \times 25$

$\bf\dashrightarrow x = 50$
