To find what percent 45 is of 60, we can follow this formula:
\[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 \]
Here:
- The part is 45 (what we are trying to find the percent of).
- The whole is 60 (the total or base value).
Now we plug the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{45}{60} \right) \times 100 \]
Now, calculate \( \frac{45}{60} \):
\[ \frac{45}{60} = 0.75 \]
Next, multiply by 100 to find the percent:
\[ 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]
Summary:
- Percent: 75%
- Amount (Part): 45
- Base (Whole): 60
Therefore, 45 is 75% of 60.
