: how does when solving for c,
C(98/100) + [-1000-C](2/100)=0
98/100C + 2/100C-20=O
These equations equal each other, but I cannot figure out the steps to find out how to get tothe second equation

Solve for C:
C%2898%2F100%29%2B%28-1000-C%29%282%2F100%29=+0 Simplify.
98C%2F100-2000%2F100-2C%2F100+=+0 Multiply both sides by 100.
98C-2C-2000+=+0 Add 2000 to both sides and combine like-terms.
96C+=+2000 Divide both sides by 96.
C+=+2000%2F96
C+=+125%2F6
C+=+20.8333
