Hi rainy here !!! so lets see lets set up your problem like this

X/1280 = 60%/100 so lets cross multiply

100 times X =100X

60 times 1280 = 76800

100X=76800 now lets divide each side by 100

100 divided by 100 = 0

76800 divided by 100 = 768

X=768

So now we have to subtract to get the total amount so 1280 minus 768 = 512

512 is your answer :)

Hope I helped if u have any questions on how I did your problem feel free to message me or comment on my page bye !!!

Love ~Rainy~
