There are 25% of 60 = 0.25*60 = 15 tables with seating for 2 people. So there are 60 - 15 = 45 tables that can seat 4 people.

---------
# of 2-person tables = 0.25*60 = 15
# of persons at 2-person tables: 2*15 = 30
----------------------------------------------
# of 4-person tables = 60-15 = 45 tables
# of persons at 4-person tables: 4*45 = 180
--------------------
# of seats in the restaurant: 30 + 180 = 210
