To find the value of \( x \) when \( 2298 = 130\% \), you can set up a proportion where \( x \) is 100%.
We know that:
\[ 130\% = 2298 \] \[ 100\% = x \]
We can set up a ratio:
\[ \frac{130\%}{100\%} = \frac{2298}{x} \]
Cross-multiplying gives us:
\[ 130\% \times x = 100\% \times 2298 \]
Converting \( 130\% \) and \( 100\% \) into decimal form (i.e., \( 1.3 \) and \( 1.0 \)), we have:
\[ 1.3x = 2298 \]
Now, divide both sides by \( 1.3 \) to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{2298}{1.3} \approx 1760 \]
Thus, \( x \approx 1760 \).
