Question

Translate to a proportion and solve. What is 76% of 60?

Answer 1

60 represents 100%. To find how much represents 76%, we can use the next proportion:

`\frac{100\text{ \%}}{76\text{ \%}}=(60)/(x)`

Solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} 100\cdot x=60\cdot76 \\ x=(4560)/(100) \\ x=45.6 \end{gathered}`

45.6 is 76% of 60.
