Answer:
124.6
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
Thus, we have that: 13% of x =16.2
[tex]\frac{13}{100}x=16.2[/tex]Next, solve for x by cross-multiplying.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 13x=16.2\times100 \\ 13x=1620 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 13.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{13x}{13}=\frac{1620}{13} \\ x=124\frac{8}{13} \\ x\approx124.6\text{ (to the nearest tenth)} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, 16.2 is 13% of 124.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
