42 is subtracted from 42% of a number. The result is 42. What is the number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The number is 200. Let x be a number. Then we can make an equation. (.42)x - 42 = 42. now solve for x. Add 42 to both sides. (.42)x = 84. Divide both sides by (.42), so x = (84)/(.42) , which is 200.
