Answer:

60

Explanation:

Let's translate the words. Let the value be "x."

"50% of the value" means 0.50x, where x is the "value."

Then "if 30 is 50% of the value" means 30 =

Put these together to get: 0.50x = 30

Solve the equation:

0.50x = 30

x = 30/0.50

x = 60

----------------

Is 50% of the value of 60 equal to 30? YES
