We have 60% of h is 80, and we're asked to find 30% of h, so what we have to do is just divide 60% of h by 2 and we have 30%.
+80%2F2+=+40
So 30% of h is 40 :D

If 60 percent of h is 80, what is 30 percent of h?

Let 30% of h be A
Then: .6%2F.3+=+80%2FA
.6A = .3(80) ------ Cross-multiplying
.6A = 24
A, or 30% of h = 24%2F.6, or highlight_green%2840%29
