To find what part of a number corresponds to a given percent, you can convert the percentage to a fraction or decimal.

**Given:** $$ 75\% $$

**Step 1: Convert Percentage to Fraction**
$$
75\% = \frac{75}{100}
$$

**Step 2: Simplify the Fraction**
$$
\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}
$$

**Conclusion:**
$$ 75\% $$ of a number is the same as $$ \frac{3}{4} $$ of that number.

**Example:**
If the number is $$ 200 $$,

$$
75\% \text{ of } 200 = \frac{3}{4} \times 200 = 150
$$

So, $$ 75\% $$ represents **three fourths** of the number.
$$ 75\% $$ is the same as three fourths of a number.
