60% of what number is 30

Answer 1

To find the number that is 60% of another number, you divide the original number by 0.60.

Let's call the original number "x".

So if 60% of x is 30, then we can write it as:

0.60x = 30

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.60:

x = 30 / 0.60 = 50

So, 60% of 50 is 30.
