解:(1)x÷25%=0.4,
x÷0.25×0.25=0.4×0.25,
x=0.1;
(2)x:
=0.12,
x=0.12×
,
x=0.02;
(3)55%x+x=3.1,
1.55x=3.1,
1.55x÷1.55=3.1÷1.55,
x=2;
(4 )x-40%x=36,
x-0.4x=36,
0.6x=36,
0.6x÷0.6=36÷0.6,
x=60.
分析:(1)利用等式的性質(zhì)方程的兩邊同時乘以0.25即可;
(2)利用比的性質(zhì),前項=后項×比值計算;
(3)把55%x看作0.55x,先算0.55x+x=3.1,得出1.55x=3.1,再利用等式的性質(zhì)方程的兩邊同時除以1.55即可;
(4 )先算出x-40%x=x-0.4x=0.6x,再利用等式的性質(zhì)方程的兩邊同時除以0.6即可.
點評:此題考查利用等式的性質(zhì)和比例的基本性質(zhì)解方程,注意等號對齊.
