Answer the following questions.

Question

(a) What number is 45% of 60?

(b) What percent of 72 is 18?

Answer 1

(a) To find 45% of 60, you can multiply 60 by 0.45:

\[ 45% \text{ of } 60 = 60 \times 0.45 = 27 \]

So, 45% of 60 is 27.

(b) To find what percent of 72 is 18, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percent} = \left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right) \times 100 \]

Where the part is 18 and the whole is 72:

\[ \text{Percent} = \left(\frac{18}{72}\right) \times 100 = 0.25 \times 100 = 25% \]

So, 18 is 25% of 72.
