What is 25% of 240?

**The reasoning** To find 25% of 240, convert the percentage to a fraction or decimal, then multiply: 25% = 25/100 = 1/4 (or 0.25) So: 25% of 240 = 1/4 × 240 = 240 ÷ 4 = **60** Quick mental trick: 25% is always "one quarter" of any number. Just divide by 4! **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Option A (30)**: You might have calculated 25% of 120 instead of 240, or divided by 8 instead of 4. - **Option B (40)**: This is 10% of 400, not 25% of 240 — you probably mixed up the numbers or your percentage. - **Option D (80)**: This looks like you found 1/3 of 240 instead of 1/4. Easy slip when rushing! **Quick takeaway** Remember: **25% = quarter it** (divide by 4).
