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

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

Joshua has a total of 600 hives, as the 30 hives he delivered represent 5% of his total. To find this, we set up the equation where 30 equals 5% of the total hives and solved for the total. The calculation confirms that the total is 600 hives.
