(79-3) * 25 is your number

If 79 is 3 over 4% of "x", then 76 is 4% of "x".
76 divided by 4 is 1% of "x".
Multiply that number by 100 to find "x".

Hi,
For this question, follow what the terminology of the problem. When you see the word "IS" in a problem, that means that an equals sign is required and the word "OF" means multiplication is involved. However, when you receive a number like 4%, you need to rewrite that as 4/100 or 0.04. Below are the steps you would need to go through:
79 = 3 / 0.04x
3.16x = 3
x = 0.949
I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Andrew

4% = 4/100
79 = 3 /(4%*x)
79*(4%*x) = 3
79*(4/100 *x) = 3
79*4*x/100=3
79*4*x = 100*3
x = 100*3/(79*4)
x = 300 / (79 * 4) = 0.949367089

79 = 3 / 0.04x
79(0.04x) = 3
x = 0.95

79 = 3/(0.4x)
0.4x = 3 / 79
x = 3 / (79 * 0.4)
x=0.09494

(.04)(x) +3 = 79
Solve for x
(.04)(x) = 76
x = (76)/(.04)
x = 1900
