Answer:

  what = 100n/m

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given ...

  n = m% × what

You know that % is fully equivalent to /100, so this can be written as ...

  n = (m/100) × what

If we want to find "what", we can multiply by the reciprocal of its coefficient. That is, multiplying by 100/m gives ...

  (100/m)n = (100/m)(m/100)×what

  what = 100n/m

_____

Example

13 = 20% of what . . . . . n = 13, m = 20

what = 100(13)/20 = 65

so, 13 = 20% of 65.
