Answer:

The number is 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is asked?

~ What is the 75% of 40% of 600?

b. What are the given fact?

~ y = 40% of 600

~ x = 75% of y

c. What operation or formula is to be used?

~ operation : multiplication

~ formula :     y  ⋅ 75% = x  or (600 ⋅ 40%) ⋅ 75% = x

d. Show your solution.​

First, find "y' (the 40% of 600)

y = 600  ⋅  0.40

y = 240

Then, find "x" (75% of y)

x = y  ⋅ 0.75

x = 240  ⋅ 0.75

x = 180

Therefore, the number is 180.
