Question 49031
<pre><font size = 5><b>.67 = (1 - T)(.8)

It might be easier for you if you change
the right sides to

.67 = .8(1 - T)

Now to get rid of decimals, multiply both
sides by 100, which moves the decimals
two places to the right:

(100).67 = (100).8(1 - T)

    67 = 80(1 - T)

    67 = 80 - 80T

Add 80T to both sides

       67 = 80 - 80T
+80T         + 80T
-------------------
 80T + 67 = 80 

Add -67 to both sides

 80T + 67 = 80
     - 67  -67
--------------
 80T     =  13

Divide both sides by 80

     80T =  13 
    ---- = ---- 
     80     80

       T = 13/80
