Solve x+20%x=80

$$x+20 \% x=80$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{200}{3} = 66\frac{2}{3} \approx 66.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x+\frac{1}{5}x=80$$

Combine x and \frac{1}{5}x to get \frac{6}{5}x.

$$\frac{6}{5}x=80$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{6}, the reciprocal of \frac{6}{5}.

$$x=80\times \frac{5}{6}$$

Express 80\times \frac{5}{6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{80\times 5}{6}$$

Multiply 80 and 5 to get 400.

$$x=\frac{400}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{400}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{200}{3}$$
