Solution

To find the value of x, we need to understand that increasing a quantity by 400% means multiplying it by 5 (since 100% is the original value and 400% is 4 times the original value).

So, if 5x = 60 (since increasing x by 400% gives us 60), we can find x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.

Therefore, x = 60 / 5 = 12.

So, the correct answer is A) 12.
