According to the question,
4x × $$\frac{3}{4}$$ + 75 = 4x
x = 75
Number = 75 × 4 = 300

⇒ 10A = 40B
⇒ A = 4B
Required % :
= $$\frac{A}{B}$$ × 100
= $$\frac{4B}{B}$$ × 100
= 400%

60% $$\frac{3}{5}$$
Let the number = 5x
Accounting to the question,
⇒ 5x × $$\frac{3}{5}$$ - 60 = 60
⇒ x = $$\frac{120}{3}$$
⇒ x = 40
Hence, required number :
= 5x
= 5 × 40
= 200
