Convert the percent of decimal
Remove the % sign
Divide 60 / 100 = 0.6
divide 144 by the decimal
144 / .6 = 240
The answer is 240

If you have so many percent of a number first you have to find out how much one percent is.
So you divide the number by how many percent you have.
In your case that is 144 divided by 60.
Since one percent is 1/100 of the whole, now you have to multiply by 100.
That's really all there is to it.
So I gave you all the steps, I'm sure you can do the computing all by yourself.

0.6 * x = 144
so x = 144 / 0.6 (use calc here)
OR x = 144 / 6 * 10
= 24 * 10
= 240

60% of 144
60% = 0.60 or just 0.6
144
x 0.6
----------
600
240
+ 24
----------
864.0
then move the decimal point one place to the left.
86.40
144 x 0.6 = 86.4
