    Make a ratio and solve for x:
48/x = 30/100
    
48/x = 30/100

    remember % means 'per 100' 
% means 1 / 100
48 % of 30 = ?
48 % = 48 / 100
48 % of 30 = [48 / 100] * 30
= [48*30] / 100
= 1440 / 100
]
= 14.40
thus 48% of 30 = 14.40
So D

    A is incorrect. Read the problem carefully. It's not asking for 30% of 48!

    "48 is 30% of <b>what number</b>?" 
48/x = 30/100
48/x = 3/10
3x = 480
x = what?
    
48/x = 30/100
48/x = 3/10
3x = 480
x = what?

    x=160 because you divide by 3 on both sides

    30%=48  so 100% =more.         Therefore it will be 100%/30%*48.  So the answer is 160
