Answer:

x =10

Explanation:

10/100 = 3/x

cross multiply and you get 300 = 10x

divide by 10 on both sides 10x/10 get canceled out you want to get the varaible on one side of the equation then divide 300/10 and you get 30 so your final answer is x=30 hope this helped you sorry if incorrect

Answer:

30

Explanation:

3 equals 10% of what? ​

10% = 0.1

3 = 0.1x

divide both sides by 0.1

3/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1

x = 30
