The correct answer is: 48 is 60% of 80

Explanation:

Simply translate "60% of what number is 48" mathematically as follows:

60% * x = 48 --- (1)

x represents "what number" in the sentence

= represents "is."

Now, we can write 60% as [tex] \frac{60}{100} [/tex] when we remove the % symbol. Rewrite equation (1) as follows:

[tex] \frac{60}{100} * x = 48 [/tex]

Now evaluate for x:

[tex] \frac{60}{100} * x = 48 \\ x = \frac{100}{60} * 48 = 80 \\ [/tex]

Hence the correct answer is 48 is 60% of 80.
