0.06x+1500-0.05x=1740
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.05 by 30000-x.
0.01x+1500=1740
Combine 0.06x and -0.05x to get 0.01x.
0.01x=1740-1500
Subtract 1500 from both sides.
0.01x=240
Subtract 1500 from 1740 to get 240.
x=\frac{240}{0.01}
Divide both sides by 0.01.
x=24000
Expand \frac{240}{0.01} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100. Anything divided by one gives itself.
