Explanation:

You said:

'25% of the people = 60 people "

' 25% ' means 0.25

'of ' means ' times'

So people (0.25) x (the people) = 60

the people=60/0.25

the people=6000/25

the people=240

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the number of people = x

25% of x = 60


(25)/(100)*x=60\\\\x=(60*100)/(25)\\\\x=60*4\\\\x= 240
