Question

60% of what number is equal to 30?

Answer 1

Let's set up a proportion
30/x= 60/100 (60/100 is the percent in decimal form)
Because 60/2=30, we can find the value of x by dividing the known denominator by 2 as well.
100/2=50
Final answer: 50

Answer 2

form an equation where x = required number:-
0.60x = 30
x = 30/0.6 = 50 <---- answer
