Question

Thirty is 60% of what number

Answer 1

When you see 'is' that means an = sign
When you see 'of' that means a x (multiplication) sign

So

30 is 60% of what number

Let us define this 'what number' as x.

So:

30 is 60% of x

Translating that into an equation based on what I said above, we get:


`\sf{30 = (60)/(100)* x}`

Solve for x:


`\sf{(30*100)/(60)=x`

And simplfying that:


`\sf{x=50}`

So your final answer is
`\sf{\boxed{50}}`
