Answer: 33.041666

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The translated equation : \(300x+y = 10000\)

To find the value of x if y = 87.5, we need to substitute the value of y in the given translated equation, we will get

\(300x+87.5 = 10000\)

Subtract 87.5 from both the sides , we get

\(300x=9912.5\)

Now, divide 300 on both the sides, we get

\(x=\frac{9912.5}{300}\\\\\Rightarrow x=33.041666666\)

Answer:

12.5 :) enjoy
