3 | = | 100 | ( | 300 | − | X | ) | ÷ | ( | 300 | × | 500 | ÷ | 100 | ) |
Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 300 | × | 500 | ÷ | 100 | ) |
3 | ( | 300 | × | 500 | ÷ | 100 | ) | = | 100 | ( | 300 | − | X | ) |
3 | × | 300 | × | 500 | ÷ | 100 | = | 100 | ( | 300 | − | X | ) |
3 | × | 300 | × | 500 | ÷ | 100 | = | 100 | × | 300 | − | 100 | X |
4500 | = | 30000 | − | 100 | X |
100 | X | = | 30000 | − | 4500 |
100 | X | = | 25500 |
X | = | 25500 | ÷ | 100 |
= | 25500 | × | 1 100 |
= | 255 | × | 1 |
X | = | 255 |
