One molecule of glucose makes 30 molecules of ATP.

Therefore, 200 glucose molecules will be yielding 6000 molecules of ATP.

We ca n calculate by the following way,

1glucose / 30 molecules of ATP or 30 molecules of ATP / 1 glucose

According to this we can figure out the total number of glucose molecules to yield 6000 ATP's.

6000 molecules of ATP / 1 * 1 glucose / 30 molecules of ATP.

Which is 200 glucose molecules.
