Hey there!

400
240 / .6 = 400

Check: (60/100) * 400 = 240

Hope this helps!

Hi there! To find the answer to that question, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this: 240/x = 60/100. This is because we're looking for the whole and we already know the part, which is 240. Cross multiply the values in order to get 24,000 = 60x. Now, divide each side by 60 to isolate the variable. When you do, you get x = 400. You can check this by dividing and then multiplying that quotient by 100. 240/400 is 0.6 and 0.6 * 100 is 60. That makes 60%. There. 240 is 60% of 400.
