$$x+0.05x=342$$

$x = \frac{2280}{7} = 325\frac{5}{7} \approx 325.714285714$

Combine $x$ and $0.05x$ to get $1.05x$.

$$1.05x=342$$

Divide both sides by $1.05$.

$$x=\frac{342}{1.05}$$

Expand $\frac{342}{1.05}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $100$.

$$x=\frac{34200}{105}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{34200}{105}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $15$.

$$x=\frac{2280}{7}$$
