Calculate 75% of 64

Step by step

The question

Question: work out 75% of 64.

1 Percent

Percent means out of 100.

So 75% is 75/100.

Both 75 and 100 can be divided by 25.

That makes it simpler.

So it is 3/4.

2 Times and divide

"Of" means times.

Before we multiply, we make the numbers smaller.

64 on top and 4 at the bottom both divide by 4.

A top and a bottom divided by the same number: the answer stays the same.

So we multiply smaller numbers.

3 times 16 is 48.

So the answer is 48.

Let's look back.

First: percent.

Last: times and divide.
