$30 is 60% of $50.
100 % is the whole figure. Based on the problem, 100 % is separated into two parts, 60% and 40%
100% = 60% + 40%
To get the number where $30 is 60%. Let X be the 100% number.
First, divide all number by 100% to remove the percentage and get the whole number.
100%X = 30 + 40%X
X = 30 + 0.40X
X - 0.40X = 30
0.60X = 30
To get X, divide both sides by 0.60
X = 30 / 0.60
X = 50
To check: Substitute all X by 50.
X = 30 + 0.40X
50 = 30 + (0.40*50)
50 = 30 + 20
50 = 50 EQUAL. CORRECT.
Hi there!
Below is the fraction we are working with:
To simplify this fraction down to its lowest form, we see what number(s) can go into the numerator and the denominator evenly. We can start off with the number 2. 2 goes evenly into each number, can't it? :)
So, we can cut down to 
.
is already in it's simplest form. Now, we can see if they're equivalent. If not, we have to start all over.
Since equals 83.3, we have to make sure does, too.
Just divide the numerator by the denominator to see what you have.
5 ÷ 6 = 83.3 with a repeating decimal, so they're equivalent!
Hope this helps!
If you need anything else, don't just sit there - Let me know! :D

Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
1. Mickey's bowling score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score
2. The sum of their scores is 228
We need to find the score of each one
Assume that the score of Minnie is x
∵ Minnie's score = x
∵ Mickey's score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score
- That means subtract 16 from 3 times Minnie's score
∴ Mickey's score = 3 x - 16
∵ The sum of their scores is 228
- Add their scores and equate the sum by 228
∴ x + 3 x - 16 = 228
- Add like terms in the left hand side
∴ 4 x - 16 = 228
- Add 16 for both sides
∴ 4 x = 244
- Divide both sides by 4
∴ x = 61
Substitute the value of x to find their scores
∵ Minnie's score is x
∴ Minnie's score = 61
∵ Mickey's score is 3 x - 16
∴ Mickey's score = 3(61) - 16 = 167
Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61
