Let the number be x, so that
30/100 of x = 70
=> x = (70) / 0.3 = 700/3 = 233.3333 ....Answer

Let number be x: -
(30/100) x = 70
(3/10) x = 70
x = 700 / 3
x = 233 1/3

Let
x be the number
.3 as the 30%
70 = .3 x
70/.3 = x
x = 700/3 or 233.33

is/of = %/100
setting up 70/ ? = 30/100
cross multiplication = 30x = 7000
solve for X ... X = 233.33333

Let the number be x, so
70 = 30% of x, so
70 = 0.3 x, so
x = 70/0.3, so
x = 233.33.
Hope this helps, Twiggy.
