Answer:

68

Explanation:

25% of a number is 20, where the number is 80 because 25% times 4 is 100% and 20 times 4 is 80.

We can check by doing 60% of 80 to see if it is 48. Instead of 60%, we can do 10% of 80, which is 8. Since we divided by 6, we multiply 8 by 6 which is 48.

Since we know 80 is the number, we have to find 85% of 80. First, let's find 5% of 80, which is 4 since 4 x 20 is 80 and 5% x 20 is 100%. Now, 85 divided by 5 is 17, let's multiply 17 by 4 to get 85% of 80. 17 x 4 is 68 which is 85% of 80.
