Answer 2

The 60% of the number is 1600.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the question that 15% of the number is 400.

We have to find the 60% of number.

Let the the number be $x$.

According to the question

$x\times\frac{15}{100} = 400$

$x = 400\times\frac{100}{15}$

Now,

60% of  $x$

= $\frac{60}{100}\times400\times\frac{100}{15}$

= 4 x 400

= 1600

Therefore, the 60% of number will be 1600.
