what number minus 25% equals 6000?
x - 0.25x = 6,000
0.75x = 6,000
x = 6,000 / 0.75
x = 8,000
Wy did you put 0.25x in the first line? x reps what?
and where did you get 0.75 from??
x represents the unknown number.
but the x is already there in the first digit because it is somethin=x and shouldnt it be :
x-0.25 = 6000?? why x - 0.25x = 6000??
1 - 0.25 = 0.75
To find the number that, when you subtract 25% from it, equals 6000, we can set up an equation.
Let's say the number is represented by "x". Subtracting 25% from the number can also be calculated as multiplying the number by (1 - 0.25), which is 0.75.
So the equation will be: x * 0.75 = 6000.
To solve for "x", divide both sides of the equation by 0.75:
x = 6000 / 0.75.
Calculating this, we get:
x = 8000.
Therefore, the number minus 25% equals 6000 is 8000.
