a side of beef lost 50 percent of its weight in processing . if the side of beef weighed 750 pounds after processing , how many pounds did it weigh before processing ?
"let weight of side of beef before processing = x ( 50 / 100 ) * x = 750 = > x = ( 750 * 100 ) / 50 = 1500 answer e"
divide(multiply(750, const_100), subtract(const_100, 50))
