Question 791166: I need to know what number (x) plus 3% of that number is equal to 988.18.
For example if I need to add 3% to the number 10. I would multiply 10*.03 and get .3 as my answer then add back 10. So 10.3 would be equal to adding 3% to 10. In my problem I have the 10.3 and need to figure that 10 plus 3% of 10 equals 10.3
I think my equation should be written (X*.03)+ X = 988.18 then subtract X So, X*.03=988.18-X, then X=(988.18-X)/.03 and that's where I get stuck... Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
