    0.07x = 126

    mesut collected $126

    to find the $126, the total amount must be multiplied by the 7% (0.07)

    However, we do not know the total amount, so, the total amount can thus be represented by the variable "x" which then gives us the following equation:

    0.07x = 126

    0.07 is the percent

    x is the total

    126 is mesut's amount

    1) 0.07x = 126

    divide 0.07 with 0.07 (this cancels out)

    2) divide 126 by 0.07

    3) x = 1800

    To check if the answer is correct, simply multiply 1800 with 0.07 which should give you 126.
