Using the variable x to represent the unknown number and knowing that 75% is equivalent to the decimal number 0.75, we can write the following inequation:


7+0.75x>23

Then, solving the inequation for x, we have:


\begin{gathered} 0.75x>23-7 \\ 0.75x>16 \\ x>(16)/(0.75) \\ x>21.333 \end{gathered}
