Question

What is 75% of 180?​

Answer 1

Make a proportion (
`(part)/(whole)`)...

The whole is 180 but we need to find the part which would be x

75 % is also a part of 100% (the whole)

The proportion would look like this...

`(x)/(180) =(75)/(100)`

Now cross multiply to solve for x. The work for this is below.

100x = 13500

To isolate x divide 100 to both sides

100x/100 = 13500/100

x = 135

So...

135 is 75% of 180

Hope this helped!
