Question

Stephanie spent 50% of x hours at her part-time job. What is x if 50% of x is about 46 hours? Explain how you estimated and which property of equality you used to find x.

Answer 1

92 hrs

Explanation:

Given 50% of x = 46 hrs

Then

50% /100% x X = 46

0.5 x X = 46

0.5x = 46

Divide both sides by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 46/0.5

x = 92

x is 92 hrs
