Joshua delivered 30 hives to the local fruit farm. If the farmer has paid to use 5% of the total number of Joshua’s hives, how many hives does Joshua have in all?

so if Joshua brought 30 hives and that is 5% of all of his hives

then 30=5/100

we know that 5/100 simplifies to 1/20 so if

1/20=30 then we multiply both sides by 20 to get

20/20 (1/1 or 100%) = 600

so Joshua has 600 hives in all

600 hives

Step-by-step explanation:

If 30 is 5% of the total number of hives Joshua has, then 5%x20=100%

So, 30x20=100%

      30x20=600
