Answer 1

Answer: 90

Explanation:

Step 1. 54 = 60% × Y

Step 2. 54 = 60/100 × Y

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides of the equation by 60 we will arrive at:

Step 3. Y = 54 × 100/60

Step 4. Y = 54 × 100 ÷ 60

Step 5. Y= 5400 ÷ 60

Step 6. Y = 90

Answer 2

Let's say "x" is the number we're trying to find.

According to the problem, we know that 54 is 60% of that number.

So we can set up an equation:

54 = 0.6x

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Divide both sides by 0.6:

54/0.6 = x

Simplify:

90 = x

Therefore, 54 is 60% of 90.
