Solve x+60%text{of}x=700

$$x + 60 \% \text { of } x = 700$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{875}{2} = 437\frac{1}{2} = 437.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$x+\frac{3}{5}x=700$$

Combine x and \frac{3}{5}x to get \frac{8}{5}x.

$$\frac{8}{5}x=700$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{8}, the reciprocal of \frac{8}{5}.

$$x=700\times \frac{5}{8}$$

Express 700\times \frac{5}{8} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{700\times 5}{8}$$

Multiply 700 and 5 to get 3500.

$$x=\frac{3500}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3500}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{875}{2}$$
