Question

Fill in the missing number. % of 60 = 24

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up an equation.

• 
  `(x)/(100)(60)=24`

Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `(x)/(100)(60)=24`
• 
  `(60)/(100)x= 24`
• 
  `(3)/(5)x=24`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/3.

• 
  `(3)/(5)x* (5)/(3)=24 * (5)/(3)`
• 
  `x = (120)/(3)`
• 
  `x = 40`

Therefore, the missing number is 40 to make 40% of 60 = 24.
