Question

What number is 30% of 200

Answer 1

Its 60. (200*30)/100
6000 /100: 60

Answer 2

We use a rule of three to solve the problem, we say 200 is the 100% as an unknown number x is the 30%
100% ----> 200
30% ------> x
x = (30)(200)/100
x = 60
therefore, 60 is the 30% of 200

We can also calculate that number directly:
(30%)(200) = (30/100)(200) = 60
