I think its 183? Can someone tell me if im wrong/explain to me how to do it?

Thanks ^-^

0.30x = 55

I get 183 1/3 = 183.333

Oh so I was almost right. Thank you Ms. Sue (:

:-) You're welcome, Meow.

To find out what number 55 is 30% of, you can use the following equation:

55 = 0.30 * x

Where x represents the unknown number you're trying to find. To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.30:

55 / 0.30 = x

x ≈ 183.333

So, your initial estimate of 183 is very close to the correct answer. When calculating percentages, it's common for the result to be a decimal. In this case, 55 is approximately 30% of 183.333.
