\left(1-\frac{1}{10}\right)x+\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.
\left(\frac{10}{10}-\frac{1}{10}\right)x+\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{10}{10}.
\frac{10-1}{10}x+\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Since \frac{10}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{9}{10}x+\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Subtract 1 from 10 to get 9.
\frac{9}{10}x+\left(1+\frac{1}{20}\right)\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
\frac{9}{10}x+\left(\frac{20}{20}+\frac{1}{20}\right)\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{20}{20}.
\frac{9}{10}x+\frac{20+1}{20}\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Since \frac{20}{20} and \frac{1}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{9}{10}x+\frac{21}{20}\left(100-x\right)=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Add 20 and 1 to get 21.
\frac{9}{10}x+\frac{21}{20}\times 100+\frac{21}{20}\left(-1\right)x=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{21}{20} by 100-x.
\frac{9}{10}x+\frac{21\times 100}{20}+\frac{21}{20}\left(-1\right)x=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Express \frac{21}{20}\times 100 as a single fraction.
\frac{9}{10}x+\frac{2100}{20}+\frac{21}{20}\left(-1\right)x=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Multiply 21 and 100 to get 2100.
\frac{9}{10}x+105+\frac{21}{20}\left(-1\right)x=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Divide 2100 by 20 to get 105.
\frac{9}{10}x+105-\frac{21}{20}x=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Multiply \frac{21}{20} and -1 to get -\frac{21}{20}.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=100x\left(1+\frac{2}{100}\right)
Combine \frac{9}{10}x and -\frac{21}{20}x to get -\frac{3}{20}x.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=100x\left(1+\frac{1}{50}\right)
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=100x\left(\frac{50}{50}+\frac{1}{50}\right)
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{50}{50}.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=100x\times \frac{50+1}{50}
Since \frac{50}{50} and \frac{1}{50} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=100x\times \frac{51}{50}
Add 50 and 1 to get 51.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=\frac{100\times 51}{50}x
Express 100\times \frac{51}{50} as a single fraction.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=\frac{5100}{50}x
Multiply 100 and 51 to get 5100.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105=102x
Divide 5100 by 50 to get 102.
-\frac{3}{20}x+105-102x=0
Subtract 102x from both sides.
-\frac{2043}{20}x+105=0
Combine -\frac{3}{20}x and -102x to get -\frac{2043}{20}x.
-\frac{2043}{20}x=-105
Subtract 105 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-105\left(-\frac{20}{2043}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{20}{2043}, the reciprocal of -\frac{2043}{20}.
x=\frac{-105\left(-20\right)}{2043}
Express -105\left(-\frac{20}{2043}\right) as a single fraction.
x=\frac{2100}{2043}
Multiply -105 and -20 to get 2100.
x=\frac{700}{681}
