a side of beef lost 35 percent of its weight in processing . if the side of beef weighed 546 pounds after processing , how many pounds did it weigh before processing ?
"let weight of side of beef before processing = x ( 65 / 100 ) * x = 546 = > x = ( 546 * 100 ) / 65 = 840 answer d"
divide(multiply(546, const_100), subtract(const_100, 35))
