Question

Translate to a proportion and solve. What is 76% of 60?

Answer 1

60 represents 100%. To find how much represents 76%, we can use the next proportion:

$\frac{100\text{ \%}}{76\text{ \%}}=\frac{60}{x}$

Solving for x:

$\begin{gathered} 100\cdot x=60\cdot76 \\ x=\frac{4560}{100} \\ x=45.6 \end{gathered}$

45.6 is 76% of 60.
