If 30% is equal to 60000 how do I work out 100%

Question

hi, could someone please help me work this out, it's driving me nuts lol! I know it's something simple that I'm missing, but I just can't figure out how to work this out!! If I know that £60000 is equal to 30% how on earth to I work out how much £'a 100% is? I'd be really grateful if someone could give me the simplest way to work this out. TIA!! 

Answer 1

0.30 : 60000 :: 1 : x      proportion

0.30x = 60000

x = 200,000

 

Check:

(0.30)(200000) = 60000
