One way to do it

80% of 60 = n

(80/100)*60 = n

0.80*60 = n

48 = n

n = 48

-------------------------------------------------------

Another way to do it

Part/Whole = Percent/100

n/60 = 80/100

n/60 = 0.80

n = 0.80*60

n = 48

-------------------------------------------------------

Either way, the final answer is 48.
