See below.

The question is asking for #1.3%# of some number. However, since we do not know the number, let us assign it the variable #x#.

Then,

#1.3%# of #x# is #89#, or #0.013x=89#

Divide both sides by #0.013#, and we get that #x# is roughly #6846.15#.

1.3% of a number is 89. To find the original number, we divide 89 by 1.3% (or 0.013).

Original number = 89 / 0.013 = 6846.15 (approximately)

So, approximately 6846.15 is the number.
