240 is 60% of what number
60% x = 240
60/100 x = 240
6/10 x = 240
3/5 x = 240 / : 3/5
x = 240 : 3/5
x = 240 5/3
x = 80 * 5
x = 400
Answer:
400
Explanation:
Assume that the number we are looking for is x
We know that:
60% of this number is 240
This means that:
60% * x = 240
0.6x = 240
x = \(\frac{240}{0.6}\)
x = 400
Hope this helps :)
