Answer: 1500

Explanation:

we can translate the sentence into an easy equation:

72/100 * x = 1080

Then we can solve for x by multiplying by 100/72. But wait! That can be simplified! We can cancel 4 out of both the top and the bottom to get the equivalent fraction, 25/18.

x = 1080 * 25/18

1080 and 18 can cancel since 1080/18 = 60

x = 60 * 25/1 ==> x = 1500
