Answer: 75% of a number is the same thing as 3/4 of the number.
so for example, divide 100 by 4. you get 25 right?
right, so multiply 25 by 3 and you get 75. That's what 3/4 of something is.
now divide 60 by 4. you get 15 right?
right, so multiply 15 by 3, and you get 45 :)))
that's why 75% of 60 is 45.
i hope this helps!!
BTW when you get a question with percentages, you can flip them! In this case it doesn't really help to do so, but for example if you had a question asking:
what is 16% of 50?
FLIP IT. it's the same thing as 50% of 16!!! This works with like any percentage!!!
