1 0 0 0 b r i c k s = 6 0 0 b a g s c e m e n t
therefore,
1 b r i c k = 0 . 6 b a g c e m e n t
since the truck is already filled with 4 0 0 bricks, it needs more 1 0 0 0 − 4 0 0 = 6 0 0 bricks
The equivalent of 6 0 0 bricks to bags of cement is
6 0 0 b r i c k s ( 1 b r i c k 0 . 6 b a g ) = 3 6 0 b a g s

Making a simple operation with proportionality:
We have 400 bricks in the truck, then we have space for more 600 bricks.
1 0 0 0 Bricks = 6 0 0 Cement Bags
6 0 0 Bricks = x Cement Bags
3 6 0 0 0 0 = 1 0 0 0 x
x = 3 6 0
Then, we can fit more 360 cement bags in this truck.
