\(x-15\%x=170\)
\(x-\frac{15}{100}x=170\)
\(x\left(1-\frac{15}{100}\right)=170\)
\(x.\frac{85}{100}=170\)
\(x=170:\frac{85}{100}\)
\(x=200\)
\(x-15\%x=170\)
\(\Rightarrow x-\frac{15}{100}x=170\)
\(\Rightarrow x\left(1-\frac{15}{100}\right)=170\)
\(\Rightarrow x\times\frac{85}{100}=170\)
\(\Rightarrow170:\frac{85}{100}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=200\)
