Solve x=2400/1-frac{20{100}}

$$x = \frac { 2400 } { 1 - \frac { 20 } { 100 } }$$

Solve for x

$$x=3000$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x=\frac{2400}{1-\frac{1}{5}}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{5}{5}.

$$x=\frac{2400}{\frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{5}}$$

Since \frac{5}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{2400}{\frac{5-1}{5}}$$

Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.

$$x=\frac{2400}{\frac{4}{5}}$$

Divide 2400 by \frac{4}{5} by multiplying 2400 by the reciprocal of \frac{4}{5}.

$$x=2400\times \frac{5}{4}$$

Express 2400\times \frac{5}{4} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{2400\times 5}{4}$$

Multiply 2400 and 5 to get 12000.

$$x=\frac{12000}{4}$$

Divide 12000 by 4 to get 3000.

$$x=3000$$

Assign x

$$x≔3000$$
