Answer:

B. 80

Explanation:

(3/4)S = 60

You want to isolate S. S is being multiplied by 3/4.

You need to multiply 3/4 by its reciprocal to get rid of the 3/4 on the left side.

The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

The rule with equations is that you are allowed to multiplied both sides of an equation by the same number. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3.

4/3 * (3/4) * S = 4/3 * 60

12/12 * S = 4/3 * 60/1

1 * S = 240/3

S = 80

Answer: B. 80
