To find out what number 60 is 12.5% of, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Part} = \left( \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{Whole}
\]

Rearranging the formula to solve for the "Whole," we get:

\[
\text{Whole} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}}
\]

Substitute the values:

\[
\text{Whole} = \frac{60}{\frac{12.5}{100}} = \frac{60}{0.125}
\]

\[
\text{Whole} = 480
\]

So, **60 is 12.5% of 480**.
