Hi, I'm happy to help!

To solve this, we need to multiply the 60% by the amount of students.

75×60%

Percentages are always out of 100, so we can write 60% like this:

75×60%

75×0.60, or 75×0.6

Now, we just multiply these together.

75×0.6

45

So, 45 of the students are girls.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
