Answer:

84

Explanation:

We can use a proportion to answer this question.

On the left side of the equal we can put the percentages (at first place the given one and in the second place 100)

On the right side we can put the numbers. x is the 140 of 60, while 60 is the

100%

140: 100 = x : 60

For find the x we have to multiply 60 and 140 and divide the result for 100

x = (60*140)/ 100 = 84
