Let the number of parents surveyed be X.

30% of them helped for for   \frac{1}{2}  hour to 1\frac{1}{2}   hours.

In total, there were 90 such parents.

\therefore 30% of X = 90

\Rightarrow \frac{30}{100}\times X = 90 \\ \Rightarrow X = 90\times100 /30 = 300

Therefore, There were total of 300 parents who were surveyed.
