Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D

What is 0.7, 0.755, 5/8 from least to greatest?
Margarita [4]
I like to start by turning all my numbers into the same form.  You can go either way but I am going to turn the decimals into fractions.  so 0.7 is the same as 7/10.

0.755 is like 755/1000 which can be reduced to 151/200  (if you don't understand the convertions let me know i will explaine more.)

Next give all the fractions a common denominator. both 8 and 10 go into 200 so we can use that.  151/200 already has a denominator of 200 so that one is set.
for 7/10  well, 10 time 20 is 200 so multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 20 so you get 140/200
the last one is 5/8  8 times 25 is 200 so multiply both numbers by 25 to get 125/200  

the fractionos we have are 125/200  151/200 and 140/200.  Now because they all have the same denominator the one with the lowest numerator is the least number and the one with the highest number is the greatest number.

125/200  140/200  151/200  now just replace the original number with the order they are placed in.
125/200 was 5/8
140/200 was 0.7 
151/200 was 0.755
so the final answer is 
5/8, 0.7, 0.755
