Answer:
208 is 80% of that number
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the number, take 65/100 (or 65%), and set it equal to 169/x (because x is the number that 169 is 65% of, so we need to find x)=> 65/100=169/x
Next, cross multiply to get 16900=65x
Divide both sides of the equation by 65 to get 260=x, which means that 260 is the mystery number that the question speaks of. Then, to get 80% of 260, set 80/100 equal to x/260=> 80/100=x/260
cross multiply to get 20800=100x
divide both sides by 100 to get 208
Therefore, the answer is 208
