I mean 30

mathstudent55 · Answer

@Loginusernamed Product means multiplication, not addition.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Division is the opposite operation to multiplication.
If 3 times a number equals 33, then
33 divided by 3 equals the number.
Just divide 33/3

You're welcome.
Once you do 33/3 and find the number, you can easily check if the answer is correct.
Just multiply the number by 3 and make sure you get 33.

Thank you, @mathstudent55, for this appropriate clarification.
@LexiSD:  You are given "The product of three and a number is thirty-three."  I'd strongly suggst that you represent the unknown number as x (or some other letter).

"Product" signifies multiplication.  Thus, write "the product of three and a number" as 3x.  
Now 3x = 33.  As mathstudent55 has explained, divide both sides of this equation by 3 to obtain the value of x.
