If x is 75% of 360, what's x?

my practice test says that it's 270. How? thanks

Multiplication:

360 * 0.75 = 270

75% means 0.75 or 75/100
"of" means "times"
x = 75% of 360 = 0.75×360 = 270

75%=75 parts out of 100 so your calculation should be 75/100x360=270. So 270 is correct. Hope this helps

x = 75/100 * 360
x = 270

270 is the answers

In your calculator put:-- 360x75%=. And the answer will be......270

75% of 100 is 75 right? So 75 x 3 is 225... Now you have to find 75% of 60 which is 45 because 15x4 is 60 so add 225 ➕ 45 which comes to 270 😊

75 / 100 * 100 = 75%

so 75 is 75% of 100

Let X be the unknown number

X / 360 * 100 = 75%

X = 270

The easiest way to do the math for this problem is to convert 75% into its decimal equivalent, which is .75; what you are going to do now is move the decimal (2) places to the right so that you end up with 75. Now write down the equation as 360 x 75, which is equal to 27000. Now move the decimal back (2) places to the left and you get 270.

Hope this helps to clear the confusion

360*75=27000
27000/100=270
X=270

That's it! :)
