ok so 40% is also 40/100 so take 40/100 and get 2.5. times that by 60 and you get 150.

Let x be the the maximum marks
First, you multiply x by 40%, and you get:

(40)/(100)x = 60

0.4x = 60

You move 0.4 to the other part. and since 0.4 was a multiplication, it become a division, so you get:

x = (60)/(0.4)

you divide, and you get:

x = 150

So, the full marks are 150 points.

Hope this Helps! :)
