Answer: it was agreed that 60 percent of a state's slave population would be counted for purposes of both representation and taxation

Explanation:

Many conflicts and compromises emerged when drafting the Constitution. one of them regarded wether or not should slaves be counted in the states census to allot House representatives.

The Three-Fifths Compromise established that slaveholding states could count free African Americans and 60 percent of their enslaved population. That 60 percent was also counted for federal taxation, but no such taxes were ever collected.
