Explanation:

when in doubt in a % problem, always find 100% and 1%. everything else can be calculated out of this.

100% = 400

1% = 100%/100 = 400/100 = 4

how many % is 240 ?

well, as many % as times that 1% fits into 240 :

240/4 = 60%

Answer:

n = 60.

60% of 400 is 240, because:

240/400 = 0.6 = 60%

0.60 * 400 = 240

Hope it helps! =D
