Jesus Mcintosh · Answer 1

Answer: x = 150

Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100 so we know that 34% means the same thing as 34/100, of means times, what number means x, is means equals, and 51 means 51.

So now we have the equation 34/100 · x = 51.

Notice that 34/100 can be reduced to 17/50.

So rewriting our problem we have 17x/50 = 51.

To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 50 and we have 17x = 2,550 and dividing both sides by 17, x = 150.
