Answer:

62.4 is 48% of 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let us assume the number is z

Therefore, 62.4 is 48% of z

This is written as

48% x z = 62.4

48/100 x z = 62.4

48z/100 = 62.4

Cross multiply

48z = 62.4 x 100

48z = 6240

Divide both sides by the coefficient of the unknown variable z = 48

48z/48 = 6240/48

z = 130

Therefore, 62.4 is 48% of 130
