Please answer the following question. (40 points)

Answer 1

Answer: 80

So we should set this up as an is/of=%/100 situation
The 60 is the is and the 75 is the %
60/x=75/100
Then I simplified
60/x=3/4 then I multiplied 60(4) and 3x
240=3x
The I divided 240/3=3x/3
X=80

Answer 2

80

Explanation:

We have, 75% × x = 60

or,

75/ 100 × x = 60

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 75,

we have x = 60 × 100/75

x = 80
