If 75% of the Pottery Club members paid their dues, then 75/100 = 3/4 of the members paid.
If there are 48 members in the Pottery Club, then to find out how many members paid, we can multiply the total number of members by the proportion that paid, which is:
48 x 3/4 = 36 members paid.
So 36 members paid the $5.00 dues.
