We can use an equation to solve this problem, and let our unknown number be represented by the variable x. First, we must convert 30% to its decimal equivalent. We do this by dividing 30/100 (because a percent represents a partial value out of a possible 100%).
30/100 = 0.3
Now, we can construct our equation, keeping in mind that the word "is" refers to an equals sign and that the word "of" denotes multiplication. This equation is shown below:
96 = 0.3x
To solve this equation, we must get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation. To do this, we should divide both sides by 0.3 to get rid of the coefficient.
x = 320
Therefore, your answer is 320.
Hope this helps!
