If 25% of x is 15 less than 12% of 1500, then x is?

If 25% of x is 15 less than 12% of 1500, then x is?

Answer/Solution

660

Steps/Work

25% of x = x/4 ; 12% of 1500
= 12/100 * 1500 = 180
Given that, x/4 = 180 - 15
=> x/4 = 165 => x = 660.

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₃ * n₂ / 100 - n₁) / (n₀ / 100).

n₀ =	25
n₁ =	15
n₂ =	12
n₃ =	1500

(n₃ * n₂ / 100 - n₁) / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₂ / 100 = 0.12
(n₃ * 0.12 - n₁) / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₃ * 0.12 = 180
(180 - n₁) / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate 180 - n₁ = 165
165 / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.25
165 / 0.25
Evaluate 165 / 0.25 = 660
660
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₃ * n₂ / 100 - n₁) / (n₀ / 100) is 660
