Answer: 24 is 40% of 60


Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate percentage we must multiply the decimal form of the percent times the other number.

So for example if we were finding 40% of 90 we would set up an eqaution like this .40*90=36

However this is not the case here and we must do the inverse (opposite) operation of multiplying which is dividing.

So we must set up an equation like this 24/.40.

Then all we have to do is calculate the answer.

24/.40=60

So 40% of 60 is 24.

Hope this helps!
