Let be "x" the number that represents 100%.

According to the information given in the exercise, 30% of the number "x" is:


0.3

Then, you can set up the following proportion:


(0.3)/(30)=(x)/(100)

Now you can solve for "x" in order to find the number:


\begin{gathered} (100)((0.3)/(30))=x \\ \\ (30)/(30)=x \\ \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is:
