228 +x / 575 +x =
Question 1037361: if you have 575 apples, and have eaten 228, how many apples do you have to add, and eat, to make it 50% eaten? (not just 1/2 of 575). I think you start it as:
228 +x / 575 +x = 50%. Solve for x. But, I might be wrong. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In words, you eat some apples, then you add more apples, you
eat those and you end up with 50% of all the apples eaten.

Add apples
Now the total ( eaten + not eaten ) =
You eat the apples
The total eaten apples is now
------------------------------------
---------------
119 apples should be added, then eaten
---------------
