Answer 2

Hi!

$1300/x=100/15$

$1300/x*x=100/15*x$

$1300=6.6$

$1300/6.6=x$

$x=195$

15%=1300=195%

Explanation: First you had to do is our output value is 1300. Then represented  unknown by the value of x. Next, from step 1 above, 1300=100% Then similarly by the x=15%. It results in a pair of the simple equations: 1300=100*(1), or x=15%(2). By dividing by the equation to 1 by the equation of 2 and noting that both the right handed sides of both equations it has the same unit of (%) it gave us 1300/x=100%/15. Then you can also used "reciprocal" from both sides, x/1300=15/100. And the answer is x=195, its the right answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on Brainly.
