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.

So 30 hives is 5% of the total number of hives.

5% of hives = 30

1% of hives = 30 ÷ 5 = 6

100% of hives = 6 × 100 = 600

Thus, Joshua had 600 hives before selling.

Now, he has = 600 - 30 = 570 hives.

Now, Joshua has 570 hives.
30/x = 5/100

30•100 = 5x

3000 = 5x
x = 600

Joshua has 600 hives in all
