Understanding Fraction word problems

Let the amount of milk that she collected from her goats in the morning be x quarts

She used 25%. Thus, amount used = 25% * x = x/4 quarts

She now has 8.4 quarts left.

Thus, we can have the expression;

x - (x/4) = 8.4

3x/4 = 8.4

x = (4 * 8.4)/3

x = 11.2 quarts

In conclusion, amount of milk she got in the morning to make cheese = 11.2 quarts
