How to figure out what number 240 is 60% of

I'd divide 240 by 6 and get 40 so 40 is 10 percent of x. multiply 40 by 10 and get 400. check your answer 400* .6 = 240

What I would simply do is divide 240 by 4 because 6 multiply by 4 is 24

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
