Sagot :

We have to use proportion to solve this problem.
75% -------------------180
100% ---------------------x
crossmultiply
75*x=100*180
75x=18000           /:75
x=240 - its the answer

We have similar problem here
8%---------------------60$
100% ------------------x
crossmultiply now
8*x=60*100
8x=600        /:8
x=75 - its the answer
