Percentage is out of 100 so 75 percent would be 75/100
75/100 = 25*3/25*4 , 25 in numerator and denominator cancel each other , so you are left with 3/4
3/4 * 48 = 3 * 12 * 4 /4 , 4 in numerator and denominator cancel each other so 3 * 12 = 36
or
48 * 75 /100 = 12 * 3 * 4 * 25 /25 * 4 = 36

start by converting 75% to a fraction :
75% = 3/4
Then we have
75% of 48 = 3/4 x 48 = 3/4 x 48/1 = 144/4
Notice that 48 was rewritten as the fraction 48/1, and that to multiply two fractions together, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators.
In order to find the simplest form of the fraction 144/4 we cancel out the greatest common divisor of 144 and 4, which is 4 :
144/4 = 36/1
So the final answer is
75% of 48 = 36
Method 2
Alternately, we can convert 75% directly to a decimal :
75% = 0.75
Then, doing the calculation by hand or with a calculator, we find
75% of 48 = 0.75 x 48 = 36
So the final answer is
75% of 48 = 36

In questions like this, think of "of" as "times"
So when you get a question that states X of Y = ? Just replace the "of" with the multiplication sign.
So now, 75% of 48 turns into :
75% * 48 = ?
Now convert 75% into its numerical value (75/100) of .75
and plug into your equation:
.75 * 48 = 36

Another way is to change 75% into a fraction and multiply. 75/100 = 3/4, and 48 in the form of a fraction is 48/1
3/4 * 48/1 = (3*48)/ (4*1) multiply the top, then the bottoms
3 * 48 = 144
4 * 1 = 4
144/4 = 36

=> 75/100 * 48
Divide by common multiple 25 in first term
=> 3/4 * 48 = 3*12 = 36
