Using algebra the number works out as 25
The naive way is to first calculate 10% of the given number and then subtract it from that number.The smarter way is to recognise that subtracting 10% is the same as leaving (100-10) = 90 percent. Since 90% is 0.9, simply multiply the given number by 0.9So, for example suppose you wish to subtract 10% from 67.3Method I:10% of 67.3 is 67.3*10/100 = 67.3*0.1 = 6.73then 67.3 - 6.73 = 60.57Method II90% of 67.3 is 67.3*90/100 = 67.3*0.9 = 60.57
Prime number
It's the same as adding a positive number.
There is nothing special about either of those. Multiply them as you would any other numbers.
Multiply and divide it by the same number. For example; 42 / 100
Let the unknown number be x: 13x-119 = 3x-9 13x-3x = -9+119 10x = 110 x = 11 Substituting the value of x into original equation: 24 = 24
7
Pick a number between 8 and 20. double that number. subtract 16 from that answer. Multiply that result by 4. Divide that total by 8. add 15 to that answer. subtract the number that you started with.
it makes it eaiser to add subtract or divide or multiply
First, to subtract fractions, you need to make sure that the both have a common denominator. By this, I mean that they need to have the same number on the bottom of the fraction. If they are not the same, you need to multiply. Say you had this problem: 4/5 - 1/3 You will notice they don't have a common denominator. To make sure that the bottom is the same number, multiply 4/5 by 3 and 1/3 by 5. When you multiply, you do this to both the top and the bottom number. The problem now looks like this: 12/15 - 5/15 Now you're ready to subtract! All you have to do is subtract the top numbers, and keep the bottom ones the same. So: 4/5 - 1/3 = 7/15
Suppose the number is x. Then 7x = 2x + 20 Subtract 2x from both sides: 5x = 20 Divide both sides by 5: x = 4
The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.

It is called algebra. When two quantities are related as long as you do the same operation to both (add, subtract, multiply, or divide) you do not change the relation
You can divide or multiply the denominator and numerator by the same number and not change the fraction, but you cannot subtract or add to them by the same number. One way to look at this is algebra let the fraction be y = N/D where N = numerator and D = denominator then Dy = N in algebra you do not change the expression if you you do the same operation to both sides So let's multiply both sides by 10 10Dy = 10N y = N/D - nothing changed so it's OK to multiply Now try to subtract 10 from N; you cannot subtract 10 from D since is multiplied by y
Change the whole number into an improper fraction with the same denominator as the fraction and then subtract accordingly
