Question

16.2 is 13% of what? Rounded to the nearest tenth place

Answer 1

124.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Thus, we have that: 13% of x =16.2

`(13)/(100)x=16.2`

Next, solve for x by cross-multiplying.

`\begin{gathered} 13x=16.2*100 \\ 13x=1620 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 13.

`\begin{gathered} (13x)/(13)=(1620)/(13) \\ x=124(8)/(13) \\ x\approx124.6\text{ (to the nearest tenth)} \end{gathered}`

Thus, 16.2 is 13% of 124.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
