30 IS 15% of WHAT number?

A. 333.3
B. 266.6
C. 600
D. 200

The correct answer is D) 200

Step by step explanation:

Let x be the number:

Then,

→15/100(x)=30

→3/20(x)=30

→3x/20=30

→3x=20⋅30

→3x=600

→x=600/3=200

Hope it helps!

D 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number we are find be x. We can write this as an equation:

30 = 15%*x = (15/100)x

Multiplying by 100/15 on both sides to isolate x:

x = 30(100/15) = 2(100) = 200

Therefore, 200 is our answer. I hope this helps! :)

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
