When 60 is subtracted from 60% of a number to give 60, the number is

200

Explanation; 

Hint:

Let the number be ‘x’

60% of the number is `60/100 xx x = (60x)/100`

Given that when 60 is subtracted from 60%, we get 60

i.e `60/100x - 60` = 60

∴ `60/100x` = 60 + 60

∴ `60/100x` = 120

∴ x = `(120 xx 100)/60` = 200
