Hi,
So I am working on a problem in the big book having to do with percents and fractions. One of the steps mentioned to simplify this:
(1/100) times (200/100) times 360 = (x/100) times (.1/100) times 60
was to multiply both sides by 10000 to cancel out the 100s in the denominator on each side. I understand the logic for this but what I don't understand is why this does not effect 360 or the 60 on either side equal sign. I would think that if you are multiplying both side by 10000 this would also include the 360 and the 60 as well.
