Answer: 130

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will be solving for some number
x for which 52 is 40%. We can set it up like this:


52=(0.4)x

We can do this because 0.4 represents the decimal value of 40%. Then we solve for
x by dividing both sides by 0.4:


52=(0.4)x

÷
0.4 ÷
0.4


130=x
