Solve 200*(1+x%)*2=224.72

$$200 \times ( 1 + x \% ) \times 2 = 224.72$$

Solve for x

$$x=-43.82$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 100.

$$20000\left(1+\frac{x}{100}\right)\times 2=22472$$

Multiply 20000 and 2 to get 40000.

$$40000\left(1+\frac{x}{100}\right)=22472$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 40000 by 1+\frac{x}{100}.

$$40000+40000\times \frac{x}{100}=22472$$

Cancel out 100, the greatest common factor in 40000 and 100.

$$40000+400x=22472$$

Subtract 40000 from both sides.

$$400x=22472-40000$$

Subtract 40000 from 22472 to get -17528.

$$400x=-17528$$

Divide both sides by 400.

$$x=\frac{-17528}{400}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-17528}{400} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x=-\frac{2191}{50}$$
