The equation that represents this word problem is 3x = 600 and 30% of 200 is equal to 60.

What is an Equation

This is a mathematical statement used to represent word problems.

Given that 30% of x = 60.

a)

Let write and equation to solve for x

$\frac{30}{100}=\frac{60}{x}\\ 30x=100*60\\ 30x=6000\\3x=600$

The equation representing x, 30% and 60 can either be written as

$0.3x=60$ or $3x=600$

b)

To solve for x, let's divide both sides by the coefficient of x.

$3x=600\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{600}{3}\\ x=200$

From the calculations above, 30% of 200 is 60.
