The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(20\%\) of \(x + 40\%\) of \(\frac{x}{2} + 20\%\) of \(3x = 100\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert percentages to fractions We can convert the percentages to fractions for easier calculations: - \(20\% = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5}\) - \(40\% = \frac{40}{100} = \frac{2}{5}\) Now, we rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + \frac{1}{5}(3x) = 100 \] ### Step 2: Simplify each term Now, simplify each term in the equation: 1. The first term is \(\frac{1}{5}x\). 2. The second term is \(\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{x}{2} = \frac{2x}{10} = \frac{1}{5}x\). 3. The third term is \(\frac{1}{5}(3x) = \frac{3x}{5}\). Now, we can combine these terms: \[ \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{1}{5}x + \frac{3}{5}x = 100 \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms Combine the \(x\) terms: \[ \left(\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5}\right)x = 100 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{5}{5}x = 100 \] or simply: \[ x = 100 \] ### Step 4: Conclusion Thus, the value of \(x\) is: \[ \boxed{100} \]
