Question

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

How many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single?


576

240

144

960

Answer 1

Solve x first. When you simpify the original equation you get 0.4x=384. Divide each side by 0.4. Then whatever you get x for, multiply it by 0.6 and there you have your answer.
