a side of beef lost 35 percent of its weight in processing . if the side of beef weighed 580 pounds after processing , how many pounds did it weigh before processing ?
"let weight of side of beef before processing = x ( 65 / 100 ) * x = 580 = > x = ( 580 * 100 ) / 65 = 892 answer d"
divide(multiply(580, const_100), subtract(const_100, 35))
