Answer:

$60.00

Explanation:

I did 45 divided by 0.75 to get 60 because it's the opposite of what we do if the question was asking '75% of 45 is what' (we would multiply 45 and 0.75)! :)

Answer: $60.00

Explanation:

Let the amount = x

So 45 = 75%*x

45 = (3/4)*x

Multiply by 4/3 on both side

x = 60
