Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

If decreasing 45 by x percent is the same as increasing 15 by x percent, what is the value of x?

2

Step

Decreasing 45 by x percent:

\$45 - x/100 \times 45\$

3

Step

Increasing 15 by x percent:

\$15 + x/100 \times 15\$

4

Step

According to the problem, the two expressions are equal:

\$45 - x/100 \times 45\$ = \$15 + x/100 \times 15\$

5

Step

After simplify the equation, we get

\$x = 50\$
