Question

If 52 is 130% of a number, is the number greater or less than 52?

Answer 1

52 is 130% of a number i.e,more than 100%.therefore 52 is larger than the given number and hence the number is less than 52.

Answer 2

The number is less than 52.

Explanation:

Let's consider our original number `n`.

Given our information:

`52 = 1.3n`

`52 = n + 0.3n`

As you can see, 52, what the new number is, is equivalent to the original number along with another 3/10 of that original number. Thus, the number is less than 52.
