Question

If 60 is 75% of s value, what is that value

Answer 1

Let's write it down:
"60 is 75% of s" means:

60=75%*s

75% is
`(75)/(100)= (3)/(4)`, (percent just means "out of 100" so we just divide it by 100) so we can also write:

60=
`(3)/(4)`s

now, let's multiply both sides by 4:

240=3s

and divide by 3:
80=s

So we have the result that the original value, s, is 80!
