When you see 'is' that means an = sign
When you see 'of' that means a x (multiplication) sign

So

30 is 60% of what number

Let us define this 'what number' as x.

So:

30 is 60% of x

Translating that into an equation based on what I said above, we get:

[tex]\sf{30 = \frac{60}{100}\times x}[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\sf{\frac{30\times100}{60}=x[/tex]

And simplfying that:

[tex]\sf{x=50}[/tex]

So your final answer is [tex]\sf{\boxed{50}}[/tex]
