Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the problem, we can use the formula:
part/whole = percent/100
Let's plug in the given values:
10% = 60/x (where x is the unknown number)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
10x = 600
x = 60
Therefore, the answer is C, 600. To find out what number is 10% of a given number, you should divide that number by 10. Let's call the number we're looking for "x". So, we can set up the equation:
x/10 = 60
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by 10:
x = 600
Therefore, 10% of 600 is 60, making the answer choice C the correct one.
