$$\frac { 8 } { 100 } \cdot 60 = \frac { 1 } { 5 } x$$

Solve for x

$$x=24$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{2}{25}\times 60=\frac{1}{5}x$$

Express \frac{2}{25}\times 60 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{2\times 60}{25}=\frac{1}{5}x$$

Multiply 2 and 60 to get 120.

$$\frac{120}{25}=\frac{1}{5}x$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{120}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{24}{5}=\frac{1}{5}x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{1}{5}x=\frac{24}{5}$$

Multiply both sides by 5, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{5}.

$$x=\frac{24}{5}\times 5$$

Cancel out 5 and 5.

$$x=24$$
