the question is using £240 as a starting point and asking you to compare something with this starting point.
The starting point ALWAYS represents 100% ( in all percentage questions find what they are starting with and make it represent 100%
£240 represents 100%
£84 represents 84 x 100/240%
represents 840/24%
35%
£84 is 35% of £240

Let say,
240 = 100%
84 = ?%
Therefore,
84 X 100 / 240 = 35%
* £84 is 35% of £240

I always remeber a percentage as a per cent (per 100) which can also be said as out of 100.
you ask for the percentage of £84 OUT OF £240, which is written 84/240 (84 divided by 240). This gives you a decimal number so to get your answer OUT OF 100 you just times it by 100.
84/240x100=35%
