Question

x minus 24 percentage of x is equal to 38​

Answer 1

In these types of questions, first read the statement carefully and then make the equation and finally solve it.



$<u>Equation formed :</u>$

$\tt{x - 24 \% \ of \ x = 38}$



Whenever we remove the sign of %, then the $<b>number is divided by 100.</b>$



$\tt{x - ( {\dfrac{24}{100}} ) \ of \ x = 38}$



Here, "of" denotes $<b>multiplication</b>$



$\tt{x - ( {\dfrac{24}{100}} ) . x = 38}$



$\tt{x - ( {\dfrac{6}{25}} ) . x = 38}$


$\tt{x - {\dfrac{6x}{25}} = 38}$



LCM ( 1, 25 ) = 25



$\tt{ {\dfrac{25x - 6x}{25}} = 38}$


$\tt{ {\dfrac{19x}{25}} = 38}$



Transposing



$\tt{x = {\dfrac{38 . 25}{19}}}$



On solving these calculations, we get



$\tt{x = 50}$



Hence, $<u>the value of x is</u>$ $<u><b><I> 50.</b></u></I>$

Answer 2

$given \: \\ \\ \large{ \bold{x - \frac{24}{100} \times x = 38}} \\ \\ \large{ \bold{x - 0.24x = 38}} \\ \\\large{ \bold{ 0.76x = 38 }}\\ \\ = > \large{ \bold{x = 50}} \\ \\ \large{ \bold{hope \: it \: helps}}$
