Worked solution

Rearrange to isolate the unknown before substituting the numbers. The correct answer is 4. Traps to avoid: 20 comes from the "forgot to divide" error; 5.60 comes from the "ignored u" error; 3.30 comes from the "arithmetic slip" error; 100 comes from the "multiplied not divided" error.
