Question

Value of $x$ that satisfies the equation $\frac{8}{5}(x+\frac{33}{12})=16$ is

• A. $7.25$
• B. $8.75$
• C. $12.75$
• D. $13.25$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $7.25$

Given equation is

$\frac{8}{5}(x+\frac{33}{12})=16$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{8}\cdot \left[\frac{8}{5}(x+\frac{33}{12})\right]=\frac{5}{8}\cdot 16$

$\Rightarrow x+2.75=10$

$\Rightarrow x=7.25$
