Question

30 IS 15% of WHAT number?


A. 333.3
B. 266.6
C. 600
D. 200

Answer 1

D 200

Explanation:

Let the number we are find be x. We can write this as an equation:

30 = 15%*x = (15/100)x

Multiplying by 100/15 on both sides to isolate x:

x = 30(100/15) = 2(100) = 200

Therefore, 200 is our answer. I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) 200

Step by step explanation:

Let x be the number:

Then,

→15/100(x)=30

→3/20(x)=30

→3x/20=30

→3x=20⋅30

→3x=600

→x=600/3=200

Hope it helps!
