We are trying to find the unknown number which is the base. Therefore, we need to use choice B where the rate is 43% and the portion is 60. We can set up the equation as: 0.43x = 60 where x is the unknown base number. To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.43: x = 60/0.43 = 139.53 (rounded to two decimal places). Therefore, 43% of 139.53 is approximately 60.
