Question

85% of what number is 13​

Answer 1

x*85/100 = 13

x = 13 * 100 /85 = 15.29

Answer 2

let the number be x. then,

$85\% \: \: of \: x \: = 13$

$\frac{85}{100} \times x = 13$

multiplying both sides by 100.

$85 \times x = 13 \times 100$

$85 \times x = 1300$

dividing both sides by 85.

$x = \frac{1300}{85}$

$x = 15.3$
