Answer 2

Firstly, convert 125% to a decimal: you can do this by dividing by 100 to get:

125 / 100 = 1.25

Next, multiply this decimal by your number you want to find the percentage of:

1.25 x 240 = 300

So, your answer is 300

Another method is this way:

Firstly work out 100%. This is 240.

Now, to find 125% you need an extra 25% (because you already know 100%)

25% is equivalent to one quarter so you can find this by dividing 240 by 4 to get:

240 / 4 = 60

So, now you know 100% and 25% so you can simply add these values together to give your answer:

240 + 60 = 300
