Solve x+x*20%=1500

$$x+x \times 20 \% =1500$$

Solve for x

$$x=1250$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x+x\times \frac{1}{5}=1500$$

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

$$\frac{6}{5}x=1500$$

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

$$x=1500\times \frac{5}{6}$$

Express 1500\times \frac{5}{6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{1500\times 5}{6}$$

Multiply 1500 and 5 to get 7500.

$$x=\frac{7500}{6}$$

Divide 7500 by 6 to get 1250.

$$x=1250$$
