You can put this solution on YOUR website! $75 is 75% more than what amount?
75 = 75% more than x
75 = x + 75% of x
75 = x + 0.75x
75 = 1.75x
1.75x = 75
1.75x/1.75 = 75/1.75
x = 42.8571
x = 42.86
Since x = 42.86, we know that 1.75x = 1.75*42.86 = 75.005 which is really close to the target of 75. So the answer is confirmed.
