joshua delivered 30 hives to the local fruit farm. if the farmer has paid to use 5% of the total number of joshuas hives, how many hives dose joshua have in all?

Sagot :

Joshua delivered 30 hives for the farmer which are 5% of the total number of Joshua's hives. In other words, 30 hives are 5% of an uknown number:

30 = 5% from x
30 = 5/100 x            / * 100 (both sides)
3000 = 5x                / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 600

Answer: Joshua has 600 hives in all.
