Question 1009525
Percentages are fractions in disguise.
{{{"80%"}}} means {{{80}}} out of {{{100}}} or {{{80/100}}} .
 
Past records indicate that
{{{"80%"=80/100}}} of the applicants pass the written test.
So, out of {{{1000}}} applicants you would expect that
{{{1000*(80/100)=1000*80/100=800}}} would pass the written test.
 
Past records also indicate that of those who have passed the written test,
{{{"60%"=60/100}}} pass the driving test.
So, if {{{8000}}} out of the {{{1000}}} applicants have passed the written test,
you would expect that
{{{800*(60/100)=800*60/100=highlight(480)}}} would pass the driving test.
