Answer 2

So 90% of x = 63, this converts to 0.9x = 63, do you think you can solve now?

Answer 3

Do you need it explained in a different way?

Answer 4

yes but can you explain it a little more?

Answer 5

So its saying 90& of people came to the meeting, that means that 10% of people didn't come, so in the equation I set up "x" represents to total number of people, and 90%, or 0.9, of x equals 63. You can use division property and figure out how many people their are in total, aka how many people = x

Answer 13

@mathmale @soprano.h.d0816 can both of you help me on more questions?

Answer 14

I will, but you would need to close this question and open a new one(:

Answer 15

Let x = total number of employees.
Number who attended the meeting: 0.90x = 63

Solve this equation for x, please.

Hint: divide both sides of the equation by 0.90.
