Let x be the percentage.
Now we have to find out what percentage of 240 is 60.
So, x percentage of 240 is 60, so convert this into equation we have,
$\Rightarrow {\displaystyle \frac{x}{100}}\times 240=60$
Now simplify the above equation we have,
$x={\displaystyle \frac{60\times 100}{240}}={\displaystyle \frac{100}{4}}=25$
So, 25 percent of 240 is 60.
