Question 368412: 16/x=58%, What is X equal to?
Answer by nyc_function(2741)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first thing to do is change 58% to a decimal.
So, 58% = 0.58
The equation now looks like this:
(16/x) = 58
To remove the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by x.
This will produce 16 = 0.58x as you know.
We now divide 16 by 0.58 to find x.
16/0.58 = x
27.5862069 = x
We can round off 27.5862069 to the nearest tenths to get 27.6 = x.
