3,000 is 10 times as much as
3000 = 10 times of what number
We need to find 10 times what number gives us 3000
Let the unknown number be x
3000 = 10 times x
3000 = 10x
To solve for x, we divide by 10 on both sides
[tex]\frac{3000}{10}=\frac{10x}{10}[/tex]
300 = x
So, the unknown number is 300
3000 = 10 times 300
3000 is 10 times as much as 300
