How do you solve what is 30% of $240

DerKrebs [107]

The Answer would be x=72. Why? Because $\frac{x}{240} = \frac{30}{100}. Fraction \frac{30}{100}$ is your %. You Cross multiply 240 * 30 = 100x
240 time 30 = 7200. you want x to be alone so you do 7200 divided by 100 equaling 72. So you get x=72.
