Answer 2

45% of 80 equals to 36% of 60.

Explanation :

Let, x percentage of 60 is equal to the 45% of 80

So, according to the question,  we have  

x% of 60=45% of 80

Now , we first solve the both left hand side and right hand side of the above equation  

$\frac{x}{100}\times60=\frac{45}{100}\times80$

$\frac{x}{100}=(\frac{45}{100}\times80)\times(\frac{1}{60})$

$\frac{x}{100}=(0.45}\times80)\times(\frac{1}{60})$

$\frac{x}{100}=(36)\times(\frac{1}{60})$

$\frac{x}{100}=(\frac{36}{60})$

$\frac{x}{100}=0.6$

$x=0.6\times100$

$x=60$

Hence 36% of 60 is equals to the 45% of 80.
