On a bar of solder marked 70/30 or 30/70 or even 60/40, does the first or second number indicate the tin?

My understanding is its rhe first number is the tin percentage.

They are correct (The first number is the TIN):
70/30 would be 70% Tin, 30% Lead.
30/70 would be 30% Tin, 70% Lead.
60/40 is 60% Tin, 40% Lead.
