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? (1 point) Group of answer choices 576 240 144 960

Answer 1

To solve the equation, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. By subtracting 0.6x from both sides, dividing by 0.4, and simplifying, you find that 960 people downloaded Q Sam's latest single from the site that month.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Start by subtracting 0.6x from both sides of the equation:

x - 0.6x = 384

Simplify:

0.4x = 384

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.4:

x = 384 / 0.4

Simplify:

x = 960

Therefore, 960 people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single.
