Answer:
The number is 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number be T
From the question, 60% of the total number gives 48 i.e
60% of T = 48
60/100 x T = 48
Cross multiply to express in linear form
60T = 48 x 100
60T = 4800
Divide both side by the coefficient of T ie 60
T = 4800/60
T = 80
The number is 80
