Probably it was the ancient Babylonians whose number base was 60 or maybe the ancient Mayans whose number base was 20
The Babylonians
The Babylonians used 60 as the base for their counting.
What is the base of your number system? The answer is: 58 in base 10 and base 16 60 in base 8
Simple answer? Because you have ten fingers, it was the easiest to count & the ancients ran with it. There have been other base number systems, for example Sumerians & Babylonians had base 60 (that's why there are 60 minutes, 60 seconds etc).

60 is 75% of 80. Percentage = 60 Rate = 75% or 0.75 Base = Percentage/Rate = 60/0.75 = 80
To find the percentage of one number in relation to another number then divide the relative number (in this case 8) by the base number (in this case 60) and multiply the result by 100.100x 8/60 = 13.33% or 131/3%
No, base ball originated in England in late 1700.
