Question in math

3/5 of x = 24 solve for x

24 : 3/5 = 24/1 : 3/5 = 24/1 * 5/3 = 40.

so x = 40 - 3/5 of 40 = 24.

How would you solve this 3/5 of__=24?

Hello Guest!

That means

$\frac{3}{5}\cdot x =24\ |\ \cdot \frac{5}{3}\\ x=24\cdot \frac{5}{3}\\ \color{blue}x=40$

$3/5\ of\ \underline{40}=24$
