More on a percentage question 2007-08-23
From Dee:
In a previous question, you answered:

"What percentage of $34.51 is $10.71?

I translate this English statement into a mathematical statement (equation) using the following

"what" is the unknown, call it x
"percent" is per-one-hundred, that is over 100
"of" is multiplication
"is" is the verb, which in an equation is the equal sign
Thus the English statement above becomes


x/100 $34.51 = $10.71

Solving for x yields

x = 31.03

Hence the gross profit is 31% of your selling price."

How did you solve for 'x'
