If 62% of 80 classmates like hip-hop, but 70% of 60 relatives like hip-hop, which one is more?

My mind is in a doozy so I forgot how to do this, also any equations will help a ton!

62% of 80 is more

80=100%
x=62%

You divide the ones with the same units

x/80 = 62%/100% (write those as fractions if you have to show any work)
x=49.6

60=100%
x=70%

x/60 = 70/100
x=42
