300 magazine subscriptions

Explanation:

Think of it this way.

If 27% is equivalent to 81 magazine subscriptions, then we can find what 100% is equivalent to by first finding out what 1% is equal to

27%=81
1%= x

x=81/27=3

Therefore, 1% is equivalent to 3 magazine equivalent. If you want to find what 100% is equivalent to, you do 3times100 which equals to 300
