showing work
4.5/100 = x/60
x = (4.5)(60)/100
To find 4.5% of 60, you can set up a proportion using the formula:
part/whole = percentage/100
Let's assign the part as 'x' and the whole as 60. The percentage is 4.5%. So, the proportion becomes:
x/60 = 4.5/100
To find the value of 'x', we can cross-multiply and then divide:
x = (4.5 * 60) / 100
Multiply 4.5 by 60 to get 270, and then divide this by 100:
x = 270/100
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
x = 2.7
Therefore, 4.5% of 60 is equal to 2.7.
