64 ⇒ 100%

And we want the percentage that 48 represents, I will call that percentage x:

Quantity Percentage

64 ⇒ 100%

48 ⇒ x%

we solve this by rule of three, for that we need to multiply the cross quantities in the table (100% and 48) and then we need to divide by the remaining amount (64).

x% = (100%)(48) / 64

x% = 4800% / 64

x% = 75%
