There is a number that if you multiply by 75%, you get 450.
So to find that number, divide 450 by 75%.
75% is the same as 0.75
450/0.75=600
it is 600.

We have, 75% × x = 450

or, 75100 × x = 450

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 75,
we have x = 450 × 10075

x = 600

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 450×100÷75, which will give you the answer.
