Solve this problem, and identify the percent, amount, and base.
What percent of 60 is 45?
A)Percent = 75, Amount = 45, Base = 60
B)Percent = 60, Amount = 27, Base = 45
C)Percent = 45, Amount =27, Base =60
D)Percent = 75, Amount = 60 , Base =45
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
x/100 = 45/60
Cross multiplying, we get:
60x = 45(100)
Simplifying, we have:
60x = 4500
Dividing both sides by 60, we find:
x = 75
So, the percent is 75. The amount is 45, and the base is 60.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A) Percent = 75, Amount = 45, Base = 60
