Answer:

64 = (66+2/3)x

x=0.96

Explanation:

64 is 66 2/3 of 96

set up the proportion 64 over x = 66 2/3 over 100

cross multiply and youll have 6400 and 66 2/3 x

to find x, divide 6400 by 66 2/3 (aka 200/3)

you should get 96

hope i helped

(the answer can't be less than 64 since 64 is only part of the whole number)
