To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.
55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.
So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.
You do three fourths times eight and that equals six.
