Question

Enter the unknown value that makes this statement true.


30% of ___ is 60

Answer 1

of means multiplication

is means equal

lets say this blank is a

so:

30% x a = 60

30% = 30/100 = 3/10

So:

3/10 x a = 60

Multiply by 10/3 on both sides to isolate a

a = 60 x 10/3

Simplify that:

a = 20 x 10

a = 200

So your final answer is
`\boxed{\bf{200}}`
