To find the number, we first need to understand what it means for 9000 to be 30% of a number. We can set up the equation:
Let X be the number we want to find. Then, we can express 30% of X as 0.30 * X. According to the problem, this is equal to 9000:
0.30 * X = 9000
Next, to isolate X, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.30:
X = 9000 / 0.30
Now we can calculate:
X = 30000
Thus, the number is 30000.
