To solve this, we use a standard percent formula: Percent=(AmountBase)\u00d7100\\text{Percent} = \\left(\\frac{\\text{Amount}}{\\text{Base}}\\right) \\times 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the problem asks \u201cWhat percent of 60 is 45?\u201d This tells us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>60<\/strong> is the <strong>base<\/strong> (the total or whole),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>45<\/strong> is the <strong>amount<\/strong> (a part of that whole),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and the <strong>percent<\/strong> is what we\u2019re solving for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugging the values into the formula: Percent=(4560)\u00d7100\\text{Percent} = \\left(\\frac{45}{60}\\right) \\times 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, divide 45 by 60: 4560=0.75\\frac{45}{60} = 0.75<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 0.75\u00d7100=75%0.75 \\times 100 = 75\\%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 45 is 75% of 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In multiple-choice problems like this, it&#8217;s also important to match all the correct values. Many choices deliberately rearrange or mislabel the percent, amount, or base to confuse you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the correct answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Amount = 45<\/strong> (the part being compared),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Base = 60<\/strong> (the total from which the percent is calculated),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Percent = 75<\/strong> (the result from the formula).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding this relationship helps solve many real-world problems like finding discounts, tips, or grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Correct Choice: Percent = 75, Amount = 45, Base = 60<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-68.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-225276\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Solve this problem, and identify the percent, amount, and base.
