Question

At the playground, 60% of the bike rack was filled. This is 30 bikes. Choose the expressions that complete each step involved in setting up and solving the proportion that represents the situation.

Answer 1

60% = 60/100

so,
60 30
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻ = ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻
100 x

To get from 60 to 30, multiply by 2. That means you do 2 (100) to get 200.
x = 200.
