Erickson · Answer 1

18=x*.20

15=x*.25

12=x*.30

24=x*.40

39=x*.60

78=x*.30

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x on each, divide the number on the left of the equal side by the number x is being multiplied by. For example, 18/.20=x

a. 90

b. 60

c. 40

d. 60

e. 65

f. 260

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 18*100 = 1800/20=90

b. 15*100 = 1500/25 = 60

c. 12*100 = 1200/30 = 40

d. 24*100 = 2400/40 = 60

e. 39*100 = 3900/60=65

f. 78*100 = 7800/30 = 260
