Hey!!!

Solution,

Let the number be X

60% of X=90

or,60/100*X=90

or,3/5*X=90

or,X=90/3/5

or,X=90*5/3

or,X=450/3

X=150

Again,

4/5 of X

=4/5*150

=120

The answer is 120

hope it helps

Good luck on your assignment

Answer:

120

Explanation:

To solve this, we can first find the value of the number.

Let's name the number x.

We can set up a proportion to solve.

90/60=x/100

Simplify.

9/6=x/100

Cross multiply.

6x=900

Divide both sides by 6.

x=150

The original number is 150.

Let's find 4/5 of that.

4/5*150

Multiply.

600/5

Divide.

120
