52,650 = X-10%

Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I am so bad at math, but wouldn't X be 10% more than 52,650?

The equation doesn't make sense to me. 10% of which number?

52,650 is what a client owes after a 10% reduction of some number.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
so 52650=90% of x? Meaning 52650=.9x. x=52650/.9.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah.
Or literally, 10% = 0.1 - but somehow I doubt the equation is 52650 = X - 0.1
Or maybe the right side is X - 10% of X.

Aimee, X is 58,500.

Okay, so it's 52,650 = x(.90)
x = 58500
