Question

stinkin word question has me confused
When 20% of a number is added to the number. The result is 60. What is the number????

Answer 1

Let x be the number.

20% = 20/100 = .2

You will be adding .2*x to x for a sum of 60.

.2*x + x = 60 ---> Solve equation for x.

Answer 2

since x actually is 1. It would be 1.20x=60??? therefore is x 50?

Answer 3

>>since x actually is 1

Since x is actually 1*x

It would be 1.20x=60???

therefore is x= 50? --> Correct. x = 50
