My homework tells me to solve using percent equation. So for this problem; 26 is 130% of what number I got 33.8. Is that correct?

Question

amistre64 · Answer

if 26 is more than 100% of another number; than that number will definantly be smaller than 26 ....

amistre64 · Answer

percent means roughly; per hundred.

if we divide a number by 100, we get 1%; and with 1% we can multiply that by whatever we want to get whatever percentage we seek

$$\frac{n}{100}*130 = 26$$should be what you want to solve for n
