18

Explanation:

Set up a ratio

Let x = the number
Let 60% = the percent equal to the number

Let 30 = the total
Let 100% = the percent equal to the total so

# 60/100 = x/30# Solve for x to find the number

multiply both sides by 30 to get x by itself

# (60 xx 30)/100 = ( x xx 30)/30# This gives

# 1800/100 = x# dividing by 100 gives

# 18 = x #
