Answer:

48

Explanation:

"What is 60 is 125% of"

Put this sentence into an expression. The wording is awkward in the question. " . . is 60 is 125% of" is not a complete sentence. I believe it is asking what number results in 60 when we take 125% of it. I'll rephrase it as "125% of what number is 60." Please check my logic on this interpretation.

Write this as an expression, using N for the unknown "number:"

125% (N) = 60

(1.25N) = 60

N = 60/1.25

N = 48

125% of 48 is 60
