Question

Please help me with this!

Answer 1

180

Explanation:

So, lets go over what we know:

5% of x = 9

Thinking of this in decimal form, this is:

0.05 * x = 9, or 0.05x = 9

To find the answer, we must multiply both sides to get 1x.

Since 0.05 is 1/20 of 1, we must multiply both sides by 20:

0.05x * 20 = 0 * 20:

1x = 180

So the answer is 180!

Hope this helps!
