Oh, dude, math time! So, if 48 is 40% of a number, we can set up an equation like 48 = 0.40x. To find the number, just divide 48 by 0.40, which is like doing the hokey-pokey but with numbers. So, the answer is 120. But hey, who's counting anyway?

To find the number that 48 is 40% of, you can set up a proportion. Let x represent the unknown number. The proportion would be: 48/x = 40/100. Cross multiplying, you get 48 * 100 = 40x. Simplifying this equation gives you 4800 = 40x. Dividing both sides by 40, you find that x = 120. Therefore, 48 is 40% of 120.

Well, honey, if 48 is 40% of a number, all you gotta do is divide 48 by 0.4 to find out what that number is. So, 48 divided by 0.4 gives you 120. Yep, that's right, the number you're looking for is 120. Math doesn't have to be a headache, darling.
