Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 60% of a number is 240, what is the number?
Correct Answer: 400
  • Step 1: Understand that 60% means 60 out of 100, or 0.6 in decimal form.
  • Step 2: Let the unknown number be represented by 'x'.
  • Step 3: Write the equation for 60% of 'x': 0.6 * x = 240.
  • Step 4: To find 'x', we need to isolate it. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.6.
  • Step 5: Perform the division: x = 240 / 0.6.
  • Step 6: Calculate the result: 240 divided by 0.6 equals 400.
  • Step 7: Therefore, the number is 400.
  • Percentage Calculation – Understanding how to calculate a number based on a given percentage of it.
  • Algebraic Manipulation – Using algebra to isolate the variable and solve for it.
