Hello, Babatunde,

===========

Question

Find x where x + y = z, y = 48% of x and z = 600

Find x

--------------------------------------

My uncompleted solution

x + y = 600

x + (48% of x) = 600

x + (0.48 of x) = 600

x + (0.48x) = 600

Yes, this is correct so far. Just take it through the next steps:

x + 0.48x = 600

1.48x = 600

x = 405.4
