I can show you a couple different "ways" of doing it. (They all accomplish the same thing though.)
x−80100=90 x=90+80100 x=4545=90.8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x−64100=72 x−0.64=72 x=72+0.64=72.64
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x−15%=146.54 x−0.15=146.54 x=146.54+0.15=146.69
