Try this formula:
is/of=%/100
is=60,%=40,x=of
60/x=40/100
40x=6000
x=150
Check:
60/150=40/100
0.40=0.40
Good luck!

Let the answer be 'x'
40x/100 = 60
40x = 6000
x = 6000/40
x = 600/4
x = 150
60 is 40% of 150
Check the answer:
(40/100)*150 = (4/10)*150
= (2/5)*150
= 2*30
= 60

the answer is 150.
Here's how to do this:
1.) make the percentage a decimal. then make that a denominator of a fraction, the 60 being the numerator.
2.) divide.
60/0.40 = 600 into 40 = 15
