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?

A. 576

B. 240

C. 144

D. 960

Answer 1

384/0.4 = 960 ;)

Answer 2

if the amount of people who visit that site is"x"
the the amount who download that special son is 60x/100 = 0.6x
so the total amount of people
= 0.6x + people who didn't download that song

hence 60% download that song the remaining amount is 40%
the equation in the problem says...
x = 0.6x + 384

so...
the amount who didn't download that song is 384


and 384 = 40% of the total amount...

so
40x/100 = 384
x = (384*100)/40 = 960

which mean the total amount who visit that site in that month is 960

and the total amount who download that song is...
960 x (60/100 ) = 576

hope this will help ya!!
