Question

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

Answer 1

Less

Explanation:

It would be, if you set up a proportion, it would be:

`52/x = 130/100" "(larr " bigger")/(larr"smaller")`

You have to multiply: `52 xx 100` and divide the product by `130` to get `x`,

`x = (52xx100)/130`

Once you’ve worked that out, you’ll see that it is less.

Hope this helped :)
