Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Find the value of x:
100
x
×190=
100
x+10
×180−15
Multiply the entire equation by 100 to clear the denominators:
190x=180(x+10)−1500
190x=180x+1800−1500
10x=300⟹x=30
Evaluate the two required terms:
First Term: (x+30)% of 90=(30+30)% of 90=60% of 90=54
Second Term: x% of 150=30% of 150=45
Calculate the percentage difference:
