Question

30% of what number is 200? (might seem like a simple question but I have an exam today so I want to confirm how to solve such question, Please explain step by step.)​

Answer 1

$\frac{30}{100} \times x = 200 \\ \frac{3}{10} \times x = 200 \\ 3x = 200 \times 10 = 2000 \\ 3x = 2000 \\ x = \frac{2000}{3} \\ = 666.66$

hope it helps
