Answer: The number is 1040.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says 12.5% of a number is 130 so we can represent it by the equation.

12.5% * x = 130 where x is the number.Solve for x

12.5% * x = 130 convert 12.5% to a decimal

0.125 * x = 130

0.125x = 130 Divide both sides by 0.125

x= 1040

Check.

1040 * 12.5% = 130
