One month, a music site observed that 60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded Q Sam's latest single. The equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who downloaded songs from the site that month.

x = 0.6x + 384

Answer 3

Yes it is one of them

Answer 4

can u just tell me please

Hint: a is the answer, or b, or c, or d.

Answer 6

Answer 12

wow u guys are really helpful

Answer 13

Thanks :)

Answer 14

@kibrelle If you haven't got the hint yet, we're not here to give you answers. We're here to help you find them yourself. Parth told you exactly how to solve this problem, step by step. You need to do the rest.

Answer 15

okay then well can u explain it more

Answer 16

Actually Parth missed a step. After you do what he told you to do, you have to multiply by 0.6 again. The question is worded strangely.

Answer 17

Explain it more than "subtract this term" and "divide by this number"? It doesn't really get much more explained than that.

Answer 18

Yes, 60% of that.

Answer 19

so its 240

Answer 20

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\rightarrow 60\% \text{of whatever x is after you solve.} }\)

Answer 21

so its 240 right

Answer 22

Yes :D

Answer 23

No actually..

Answer 24

lol make up your mind

Answer 25

Think , asker.

Answer 26

\[ x\ne240\]

Answer 27

@nbouscal Final answer would be 0.6x actually..

Answer 28

you got three left...probability of right is now 1/3

Answer 29

@ParthKohli I know that.

Answer 30

Didn't chose d in a while :/

Answer 31

choose*

Answer 32

Yeah, lol

Answer 33

statistically multiple choice questions USUALLY go for b and c...but not always..

Answer 34

I guess that it's c :/
