Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

write and equation and solve. "Is" means equals and "of" means multiply.

3 = 60% · w

convert 60% to a decimal. Move the decimal two places left or multiply by 100. 60% = 0.6

3 = 0.6w

divide both sides by 0.6

3/0.6 = 0.6w/0.6

w = 5

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

expressing the word paragraph as a mathematical equation:

"3 is 60% of what number"

3 = 60% of x

3 = (60/100) x            multiply both sides by 100

(3)(100) = 60x             divide both sides by 60 and rearrange

x = (3)(100) / (60)

x = 5
