@@Scott_McKin Perhaps the guy above misinterpreted the question.

1. Identify the old values and new values in the video the new value is 210 and old value is 30. 2. Subtract them. 210-30=180. 3. Divide the difference by the old value. 180/30=6, then multiply by 100. The number you get after multiplying by 100 is your percentage.
I'm brazilian, and here we use to solve these questions using "regra de 3" (rule 3), basically 30 = 100% 210 = x 210.100 = 21000 21000/30 = 700 700-100 = 600
alternatively, in the uk we are always taught to set 30 as 100%. 210 is 30×7 so 210 is 700%. this makes 210 600% greater than 30, and the hardest question on the digital SAT becomes a simple 2-3 step method
Theres the easiest way to do it. Since 210 is 7 times greater than 30, you substract "one" 30 from the percentage, and because 30 is 100% of 30, you get 600%. I have looked at some past papers, and trust me, this aint the hardest question BY A MILE

You multiply by 30, because "of" means times. We start with the original 30, and then we add p/100 times 30 to account for p% of the original 30. So you get: 210 = 30*(1 + p/100) It's important that you snare the addition, because the 30 has to be multiplied by both the 1 and the p%.

I don’t understand the -30 from both sides. You are only moving the 30 to the other side of the equation. Anytime you move a number to the other side of the equation it changes from positive value to a negative value. Explaining to folks why you are dividing both sides at the end by explaining that you are getting rid of the P multipliers might be helpful too.
Sometimes these math's teachers explain things in such over complex ways, I could have explained it much simpler, 210 is 7 times bigger than 30 so that 6 more 30s than the original, so that's 600%
An easier way to do this: 30= 100 % 60= 200 % 90= 300 % 120= 400 % 150= 500 % 180= 600 % 210= 700 % 210 is 700 per cent of 30. And if we subtract 210-30, it's gonna be 600 per cent. So 210 is 600 per cent greater than 30. So finding the difference between the starting value and the ending value is an easier way to do this just like I did. (By the way, if this is the hardest question in SAT, then I don't know if y'all are actually learning.)
During the actual sat, im sure my brain would’ve skipped the first step to subtract 30 from 210 and got 700%
