Solve (x-7880)/x=0.25

$$\frac{ (x-7880) }{ x } =0.25$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{31520}{3} = 10506\frac{2}{3} \approx 10506.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x-7880=0.25x$$

Subtract 0.25x from both sides.

$$x-7880-0.25x=0$$

Combine x and -0.25x to get 0.75x.

$$0.75x-7880=0$$

Add 7880 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0.75x=7880$$

Divide both sides by 0.75.

$$x=\frac{7880}{0.75}$$

Expand \frac{7880}{0.75} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{788000}{75}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{788000}{75} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x=\frac{31520}{3}$$
