Answer:21 comments about camping gear

Step-by-step explanation: Because percentages are just fractions out of 100, we know that 30% is 30/100. If you multiply 30/100 by 70, you get 21.

To figure out how many of the 70 comments were those about questions for Gwen about camping gear, you need to first find the decimal of 30%, which is 0.3. Then the equation should be:

70 x 0.3
