Imagine a cake cut up into 80 slices. 60 % of 80 is asking for what quantity/how many slices makes up 60% of the cake.
The mathematical way of determining that is 60 divided by 100, then multiply the answer by 80. which gives you 48.
Therefore, 48 slices makes up 60% of the cake.

Remember that in math "of" means MULTIPLY.
Also percent is another way of writing hundredths. So 60% is the same as .60. So we multiply:
.60 x 80 and get 48

1. the word 'OF' indicates that you have to multiply it.
2. move the decimal place of 60% twice to the left (because it's still a percentage); it becomes 0.6
3. then multiply 0.6 with 80 (0.6 of 80)
4. you get t he final answer of 48

80 - 100%
x - 60%
x=(80 * 60) / 100
x = 48
