    If 115% of a number is 460, what is 75% of the number.

    Let the number be n. We're given:
    115% * n = 460

    We write 115% of n as 1.15n, so we have:
    1.15n = 460

    Using our equation calculator, we get:
    n = 400

    The problem asks for 75% of this number, so we type in 75% of 400 into our search engine and get:
    300
