To find out what 30% of the number is, we first need to determine the original number itself. According to the problem, 10,000 is 70% of that number. We can set up an equation to find the original number:
Let x be the original number. We know that:
70% of x = 10,000
In mathematical terms, this can be expressed as:
0.7x = 10,000
Now, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 0.7:
x = 10,000 / 0.7
x = 14,285.71 (approximately)
Now that we have the original number, we can calculate 30% of x:
30% of x = 0.3 * 14,285.71
Calculating that gives us:
0.3 * 14,285.71 = 4,285.71 (approximately)
So, 30% of the original number is approximately 4,285.71.
