What Percentage Of £240 Is £60?

[roadman]

If there is 240 and you give someone 60 what percentage would that be

[Tuvok]

60/240

[mjwman]

25%

[sunny-dave]

(60/240)*100%

[roadman]

Thats a fraction so you could boil that down to 30/120 then 15/60 then 3/12 but that doesnt tell me the %

[roadman]

Thanks mjwman

[chrisitr]

25%

Multiply 60 by 100 and divide by 240 = 25%

The / is a division mark, you should know that. 'one half' is written 1/2 which means 1 divided by 2. 60 divided by 240 will give you 0.25. Times this by 100 and you will get your answer , 25%

[Peter Pedant]

quarter because 60/240 when cancelled out - reduces to 1/4
or 25%

If, after division, an answer shows 0.X and X is only one digit, the percentage is X0%

So in 0.1, the X is 1 and the percentage is 10%

In O.2, the X is 2 and the percentage is 20%

If there's two digits such as 0.11, just ignore the "0." and add the %
so the 0.11 becomes 11%.

If there's any digits before the decimal point such as "2.25" for example, ignore the "." and add the "%" so that

2.25 = 225%

I remember percentages by saying little number divided by big number times 100. In this case 60 ÷ 240 x 100 = 25.

You would go wrong if the question were, "What percentage of 60 is 240?"
