Case A Did you mean 48% of 60?
The answer for that is: 28.8

Case B Did you mean 60% of 48?
The answer for that is: 28.8

Explanation:

x% of y equals decimal form of x multiplied by y.

Case A
Here, x=48 and y=60.
48%=0.48 so your equation is
0.48\cdot60=28.8

Case B

60%=0.60 so your equation is
0.60\cdot48=28.8

Oh, that's an interesting coincidence...
