Flaky aggregate is a aggregate having a size less than 60% of average size of the two aggregate.
So now (75+60)/2 = 67.5.
Now 60% of 67.5 is,
That is 67.5*(60/100) = 40.5.
So now (75+60)/2 = 67.5.
Now 60% of 67.5 is,
That is 67.5*(60/100) = 40.5.

Flakiness means 60%(3/5) of avg size of particles.

If an aggregate is rounded or angular then what value will be use about dimension? Please explain.

Thanks for the correct explanation. @Lalit
Flaky aggregate = 3/5 of the mean dimension.
= (3/5) *{(75+60) /2}.
= (3/5) *(67.5).
= 40.5mm.
