Answer:
n = 125
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Convert words into an expression
Number n is 25 less than 120% of itself. What is the value of n?
25 less than 120% of itself can be represented as: 1.2n - 25
n = 1.2n - 25
Step 2: Add Subtract 1.2 from both sides
n - 1.2n = 1.2n - 25 - 1.2n
-0.2n = -25
Step 3: Divide both sides by -0.2
-0.2n / -0.2 = -25 / -0.2
n = 125
Answer: n = 125
