Math Problem Statement

m = (z/f - g) / (z/f) * 100

What is the formula for z?

Solution

To find the formula for zz from the given equation m=(z/fgz/f)×100m = \left( \frac{z/f - g}{z/f} \right) \times 100, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the given equation: m=(z/fgz/f)×100m = \left( \frac{z/f - g}{z/f} \right) \times 100

  2. Simplify the fraction: z/fgz/f=1gfz\frac{z/f - g}{z/f} = 1 - \frac{gf}{z} Hence, the equation becomes: m=(1gfz)×100m = \left(1 - \frac{gf}{z} \right) \times 100

  3. Divide both sides by 100: m100=1gfz\frac{m}{100} = 1 - \frac{gf}{z}

  4. Isolate the fraction involving zz: gfz=1m100\frac{gf}{z} = 1 - \frac{m}{100}

  5. Simplify the right-hand side: gfz=100m100\frac{gf}{z} = \frac{100 - m}{100}

  6. Invert both sides to solve for zz: zgf=100100m\frac{z}{gf} = \frac{100}{100 - m}

  7. Finally, multiply both sides by gfgf: z=gf×100100mz = gf \times \frac{100}{100 - m}

Therefore, the formula for zz is: z=100gf100mz = \frac{100gf}{100 - m}
