Solve 509-y=35%

$$509 - y = 35 \%$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{10173}{20} = 508\frac{13}{20} = 508.65$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{35}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$509-y=\frac{7}{20}$$

Subtract 509 from both sides.

$$-y=\frac{7}{20}-509$$

Convert 509 to fraction \frac{10180}{20}.

$$-y=\frac{7}{20}-\frac{10180}{20}$$

Since \frac{7}{20} and \frac{10180}{20} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{7-10180}{20}$$

Subtract 10180 from 7 to get -10173.

$$-y=-\frac{10173}{20}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=\frac{10173}{20}$$
