Solve for c 1520=(0.05)(c)(-80)

$1520 = (0.05) (c) (- 80)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $0.05 c \cdot - 80 = 1520$ .

$0.05 c \cdot - 80 = 1520$

Step 2

Multiply $- 80$ by $0.05$ .

$- 4 c = 1520$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- 4 c = 1520$ by $- 4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 4 c = 1520$ by $- 4$ .

$\frac{- 4 c}{- 4} = \frac{1520}{- 4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 4 c}{- 4} = \frac{1520}{- 4}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{1520}{- 4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $1520$ by $- 4$ .

$c = - 380$
