Answer:
375
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 75% is a percentage we can write it as a fraction and make it into [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex]. We can also make 500 into a fraction and since it's a whole number it's just [tex]\frac{500}{1}[/tex].
Since "of" means x (multiplication). Our problem would look like [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex]x [tex]\frac{500}{1}[/tex] which you need to simplify by dividing. everything is divisible by 5 so it will be easy.
= [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{500}{1}[/tex]
500 and 100 can be divided by 100 and will be crossed out and give you
= [tex]\frac{75}{1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{5}{1}[/tex]
Then 75 x 5 = 375
