1.   30% = .30 in decimal form

     "Of" means multiply

     "What Number" is "x"

     "Is" means "Equal To"

So we have

.30 * x = 14.1      divide both sides by .30

x = 47    and that's the "What Number"

 

2. I assume you want to convert 81 cm to inches......so we have

81cm *  (1 inch/2.54cm) = about 31.89 in.       .....notice that the "cm" "cancel" abd we're left with the desired unit (inches)
