The number must be less than 52 as is everything over 101%.

A percentage is just a fraction where the number to the left of the sign, let's say 'x', is placed in the numerator above 100 (example: x/100) = x%.

52 / 130% = 52 / 1.3 = 40

X= a number

If 52 is 130% of a number, then we multiply the unknown number by 130%.

x * 130%= 52
convert % to decimal (130%÷100)

1.3x= 52
divide both sides by 1.3

x= 40

ANSWER: The unknown number is 40, so it is less than 52. We multiply the unknown number by 130% to equal 52.

Hope this helps! :)

Let's solve ~ ☂

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - 0.6(m + 1) = 3$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - (m + 1) = 3 \div 0.6$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - (m + 1) = 5$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - m - 1= 5$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - m = 5 + 1$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - m = 6$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: m = - 6$

I hope it helps ~

vitfil [10]

B + (-2) = 0

Here, we need to do the inverse operation, and apply it to BOTH sides of teh equation.

b -2 = 0
+2 +2

b = 2

Now we have our answer, b = 2

Final answer: b = 2
