Solving Equations

Description

This math example demonstrates solving percent equations by asking "1 is 400% of what number?" The solution involves setting up the equation 1 = 4.0 * x, then solving for x to get x = 1 / 4, which equals 0.25. This example introduces a scenario where we need to find a number that, when increased by 400%, results in 1, leading to a fraction or decimal less than 1.

Description

This math example demonstrates solving percent equations by asking "650 is 130% of what number?" The solution involves setting up the equation 650 = 1.3 * x, then solving for x to get x = 650 / 1.3, which equals 500. This example introduces a scenario where we need to find the original value when given a percentage greater than 100%, resulting in a number that is smaller than the given value.
