Respuesta :

What number is 30% of 7

Answer:

B) 30% of what number is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 0.3x = 7

Here "x" is a variable.

0.3x = 7 means 0.3 times of x equals 7.

The variable x is assigned for an unknown number and 0.3 = [tex]\frac{30}{100}[/tex] = 30 %

0.3x = 7

30% of x is 7

Which means 30% of the number(x) is 7.

Therefore, the answer B) 30% of what number is 7.

Note: Variables always assigned to find the unknown numbers.
