Exemplar problem
The sum of four numbers is 396. One of the numbers, x, is
25% more than the sum of the other three numbers. What is
the value of x?
aum of other three numbera-> 396-x
25% more than sum of other 3 numbera> 1.25(396 - x)
x is 25% more than the sum of the other three numbers
x1.25(396-x)
Distribute 1.26
x- 1.25(396-x)
x= 495-1.25x
+1.25x,
2.26x = 496
2.26
+1,26x
Add 1,26x to both sides
२25
Divide both sides by 2.26
x- 220
The value of x is 220
