To solve the equation \( (84.01 - m) \times 1.2 = 78.54 \), follow these steps:
Divide both sides by 1.2 to isolate the expression involving \( m \): \[ 84.01 - m = \frac{78.54}{1.2} \]
Calculate the right side: \[ \frac{78.54}{1.2} = 65.45 \]
Now, the equation is: \[ 84.01 - m = 65.45 \]
Rearrange the equation to isolate \( m \): \[ m = 84.01 - 65.45 \]
Now, perform the subtraction: \[ m = 18.56 \]
Therefore, the value of \( m \) is \( 18.56 \).
