Answer: 102600

Explanation:

6361.20 = 0.062 x

x = 6361.20/0.062

x = 102600

(when you divide a number with a decimal you get a larger number because you are, in fact, dividing by less than 1.)

(Immagine you divide 10 cookies with 1 friend you both get 5 cookies, but if you divide with less than 1 friend [let's pretend that it's possible] you will have to give less because now there are essentially fewer people).

Hope this helps =)
