If 7.65% is subtracted from (X) leaves 809.04 what is (X)?

Answer 1

7.65% = 7.65/100 = 0.0765

If 0.0765 subtracted from X Is 809.04, what is X?

X - 0.0765 = 809.04

X = 809.94 + 0.0765

X = 809.1165

If the question asks if 7.65% of X is subtracted from X leaving 809.04 then you would have

X - 0.0765X = 809.04 Factor out the X

X (1 - 0.0765) = 809.04

X (0.9235) = 809.04

X = 809.04/0.9235

X = 876.0585
