Find what percent one number is of another

Full solution

Q. Two thirds of a number is

-26

write and solve an equation to find the number

Define the Equation: Let's call the number we're looking for ＂n＂. The equation based on the problem is $(\frac{2}{3})n = -26$ .
Multiply by Reciprocal: To find $n$ , we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of $\frac{2}{3}$ , which is $\frac{3}{2}$ .
Simplify Left Side: So, $(\frac{3}{2}) \times (\frac{2}{3})n = (\frac{3}{2}) \times -26$ .
Do the Multiplication: The left side simplifies to just ＂ $n$ ＂ because $(\frac{3}{2}) \times (\frac{2}{3}) = 1$ . On the right side, we do the multiplication.
Find the Value of $n$ : $n = \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) \times -26 = -39$ .
