The sum of 8 times of a number and 2 times of this number is 12.5

The sum of 8 times of a number and 2 times of this number is 12.5


Let this number be X
8x+2x=12.5
10x=12.5
x=1.25



Solution equation: 7x + 20% x = 36


7x+20%x=36
7x+0.2x=36
7.2x=36
x=5



(36.5 plus x) multiplied by 20 equals 1500


(36.5+X)×20=1500
36.5+X=75
X=75-36.5
X=38.5
