75% of 640 = 480..lol.

igreen · Answer

It had to be either 640 or 555 because 480 is 75% of something, meaning that something has to be higher than 480.

So just calculate 75% of 640 and you get 480.

Ohhhh lol =) Cool!

ahsome · Answer

Equation:
$$Number=Total*\frac{Percentage}{100}$$
$$Number=480*\frac{75}{100}$$
$$Number=480*0.75$$
$$Number=360$$
