Reagan solved 5.25 = 5 and got 105. What did Reagan do wrong?

Answer 1

He did not simplify correctly and forgot to place the decimal point correctly.

Explanation:

To simplify the equation, one needs to divide both sides of the equal sign by 5.

i.e 5.25/5=5/5

Here we find 1.05=1

Note the placement of the decimal point.
