Remember this, 5 or higher goes up, 4 or lower the number stays the same. soooo.... lets see how i can start this off...
well,... you could....60 divided by 72 equals.... 0.8333333333333
then, starting from the decimal.. you go two spaces to the right... so thats 83.3333333333
so, since 3 is lower than 4, it would be the same.. and take off the extra three after the decimal. and we're basically... rounding off right??
so your answer should be 80%
Hope i helped!!! :D
