What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following questions ?
`40%`of ?=240

Options

A. 60
B. 6000
C. 960
D. 600

Answer

To solve the equation \( 40\% \) of \( ? = 240 \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal
We know that \( 40\% \) can be expressed as a decimal by dividing by 100:
\[ 40\% = \frac{40}{100} = 0.4 \]

### Step 2: Set up the equation
Let \( x \) represent the question mark. The equation can be set up as:
\[ 0.4 \times x = 240 \]

### Step 3: Solve for \( x \)
To find \( x \), we need to isolate it. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by \( 0.4 \):
\[ x = \frac{240}{0.4} \]

### Step 4: Perform the division
Now, we calculate \( \frac{240}{0.4} \):
\[ x = 240 \div 0.4 = 240 \times \frac{10}{4} = 240 \times 2.5 = 600 \]

### Step 5: Conclusion
Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark is:
\[ \boxed{600} \]
