Question

Use the appropriate form of the percentage formula.60% of what number is 30?B=

Answer 1

Let the required number be x.

According to the given condition,

`\begin{gathered} 60\text{ \% of x = 30} \\ (60)/(100)* x^{\text{ }}\text{ = 30} \\ 60x\text{ = 3000} \end{gathered}`

Simplifying further,

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }(3000)/(60) \\ x\text{ = 50} \end{gathered}`

Thus the required number is 50.
