Solve x*(1+25%)=9

$$x \times (1+25 \% )=9$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{36}{5} = 7\frac{1}{5} = 7.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x\left(1+\frac{1}{4}\right)=9$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.

$$x\left(\frac{4}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\right)=9$$

Since \frac{4}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x\times \frac{4+1}{4}=9$$

Add 4 and 1 to get 5.

$$x\times \frac{5}{4}=9$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{4}.

$$x=9\times \frac{4}{5}$$

Express 9\times \frac{4}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{9\times 4}{5}$$

Multiply 9 and 4 to get 36.

$$x=\frac{36}{5}$$
