X/270 = 35/100 Answer by ZeratuelX(5) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! $270 is the total cost of the stereo. Since 35% of this is the profit, we can find that the remaining 65% is the cost (100%-35%). So the cost is represented by 65% of 270. Convert the percentage to a decimal to plug it into the equation.
