Percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

Here given that Jorge finds that 56% of his 75 classmates like salsa music and 80% of his 60 relatives like salsa music

[tex]56\% \times75\\\\\\\frac{56}{100} \times 75\\\\\frac{56}{4}\times3\\ \\14\times3\\\\42[/tex]

Now number of relatives who likes salsa music can be calculated as

[tex]80\% \times60\\\\\frac{80}{100} \times60\\\\8\times6\\\\48[/tex]

Now 48-42=6
