OpenStudy (misty1212):
147 is the number 147
"is" means "="
30% means 0.3
"of" means \(\times \)
"what number" is what we are looking for, i will call it "\(n\)"
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[147=0.3\times n\] solve by computing
\[147\div 0.3=n\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
in simple inglish, divide \(147\) by \(0.3\)
