Answer 2

42.22 (2 repeating)

Explanation:

When you are given percentage problems, you deal with the percent (%), base (amount you are starting with), and the amount.

Starting with the most basic equation,

Percent * Base = Amount

In this problem, you are given the amount (38) and the percent (90)

So to find the base, you can do

Base = Amount / Percent

As always, convert the percent to a decimal by dividing by 100.

38/ 0.9 = 42.222 repeating
