Answer:
60
Explanation:
To make this problem a little easier, think of 80% as 4/5.
(4/5 = 48/x) ~the unknown is represented by x
After cross multiplying, or "the butterfly method" you would get:
4x = 5(48)
4x = 240
240/4 = 60!
The answer is 60
How to find what percent of X is Y. Use the percentage formula: Y/X = P% Example: What percent of 60 is 12? Important! The result will always be in decimal form, not percentage form.
(i know this isn’t the clearest formula but its what i used)
