Effective Math teaching in economic rates and loved by students.
From x we subtracted 35 so it reduced 80% of it
So equation is
x-35=x*80/100
So equation is
x-35=x*80/100
x-35-4x/5
multiply with 5 to both sides
5x-175=4x
subtract 4x form both sides and add 175 to both sides
x= 175
now 4/5 of 175=140
I hope you understand it
