Problema Solution
A farmer sells sheep at $75 per head. The sheep cost $x each. The farmer finds out that she makes x% profit. Find x

The profit would be "75-x" where 'x' is the cost and $75 is the selling price.
The percentage of profit per sheep would be (multiplying by 100 to convert from decimal to percentage):
100*(75-x)/75
solve for the percentage expression
4(-x+75)/3
So a numeric answer depends on what amount a sheep actually costs.
