Solve 38/16=100/x*100

$$\frac{ 38 }{ 16 } = \frac{ 100 }{ x } \times 100$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{80000}{19} = 4210\frac{10}{19} \approx 4210.526315789$$

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 16x, the least common multiple of 16,x.

$$x\times 38=16\times 100\times 100$$

Multiply 16 and 100 to get 1600.

$$x\times 38=1600\times 100$$

Multiply 1600 and 100 to get 160000.

$$x\times 38=160000$$

Divide both sides by 38.

$$x=\frac{160000}{38}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{160000}{38} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{80000}{19}$$
