What is the answer for (50/51)C= 400

in the textbook it says C=408

50 * C
______ = 400
51

multiply both sides by 51:

50*C = 400*51

divide both sides by 50:

C = 400*51/50

typing into calculator gives:

C=408

yes. c = 408
since you are solving for c you just have to multiply by the reciprocal which is (51/50). 400(51/50)=C. therefore c=408.

(50/51)C= 400

50C/51 =400

50C= 51*400

50C = 20400

C= 20400/50

C=408

.....

(50/51)C = 400
50C = 20400
C = 408

(50/51)C=400
C=400/50/51= 400(51)/50=408
