You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"50%\" means .50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"what #\" means x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"is\" means =\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use this to write the equation\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "50% of what # is 30
\n" ); document.write( ".50 times x = 30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".50x = 30\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by .50, which gives you \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\".50x%2F.50+=+30%2F.50\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Either use a calculator or multiply numerator and denominator by 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 60.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are other methods that might be easier. I can't remember them. Maybe someone else can.\r
