The number is 323.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that 13% of a number, say x, is 42, i.e.

$13\%\ of\ x=42$

Compute the value of x as follows:

$13\%\ of\ x=42\\\frac{13}{100}\times x=42\\x=\frac{42\times100}{13}\\=323.08$

The number is 323.08.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 323

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

13 % of a number = 42

Let The number = n

According to question

∵ 13 % of a number = 42

i.e 13 % of  n = 42

Or, $\dfrac{13}{100}$ × n = 42

Or, n = $\dfrac{42\times 100}{13}$

Or, n = 3.23 × 100

∴   n = 323

So, The number = n = 323

Hence, The number is 323 Answer
