Question

Now, solve this problem. 106% of $ _______ = $7.95

Answer 1

7.5

Explanation:

106% of $x = $7.95

In other words,

`\[(106)/(100)\]` of $x = 7.95

Multiplying both sides of the equation by
`\[(100)/(106)\]`

`\[(106)/(100) * (100)/(106)\]` of x = 7.95 *
`[(100)/(106)]`

=> x =
`[(750)/(100)]`

=> x =
`[(7.50)/(1)]`

=> x = 7.5

Validation: 106% of 7.5 = 7.95
