Solve k-50/k=0.75

$$\frac { k - 50 } { k } = 0.75$$

Solve for k

$$k=200$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable k cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by k.

$$k-50=0.75k$$

Subtract 0.75k from both sides.

$$k-50-0.75k=0$$

Combine k and -0.75k to get 0.25k.

$$0.25k-50=0$$

Add 50 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0.25k=50$$

Divide both sides by 0.25.

$$k=\frac{50}{0.25}$$

Expand \frac{50}{0.25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$k=\frac{5000}{25}$$

Divide 5000 by 25 to get 200.

$$k=200$$
