How do you solve m+0.15m=97.75?

Answer 1

Alternative approach

If you do not like decimals you do the following:

Notice that the decimals are to 2 decimal places so multiply everything by 100 giving:

#100m+15m=9775#

#115m=9775#

#m=9775/115 = 85#

To solve the equation m + 0.15m = 97.75, you can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of m. This gives you 1.15m = 97.75. Then, divide both sides of the equation by 1.15 to isolate m. So, m = 97.75 / 1.15. Calculate the division to find the value of m.
