Instead of doing this problem for you, I'll do one exactly like it
with different numbers. Use it as a guide to solve yours:
When a number is decreased by 51% (of x), the result is 45.
------------- --------------- ---------- ------------- --
| | | | |
x - 0.51x = 45
Put it together:
x - 0.51x = 45
What is the original number to the nearest tenth
1.00x - 0.51x = 45
0.49x = 45
x = 45/0.49
x = 91.8
Now do yours exactly step-by-step the same way.
