30 percent of what number is 90?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, like, if you want to find out what number represents 30% of another number that equals 90, you just divide 90 by 0.3 (which is 30% as a decimal). That gives you a number that is technically correct. But, like, who really cares about math when you can just ask a calculator, am I right?

Answer 2

Answer 300 ---- Here is why: This is the same as asking .3x=90 so the number is 90/.3 =300 Note, 90/.3 is 90 divided by 3/10 which is 90x10=900 divided by 3.
