Answer:

56

Explanation:

Top line:

100% - 80% = 20%

20% of 60 = 0.2 × 60 = 12

Small piece on top is 12.

Second line:

Small piece is 12.

100% - 60% = 40%

Small piece is also 40%.

40% of x = 12

0.4x = 12

x = 12/0.4

x = 30

The entire second line is 30.

60% of 30 = 0.6 × 30 = 18

60% of second line is 18.

Third line:

30% of third line = 18

100% - 30% = 70%

30/18 = 70/x

30x = 18 × 70

x = 42

Larger part of third line is 42.

Fourth line:

75% of 4th line is 42.

100/x = 75/42

75x = 100 × 42

x = 56
