In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

6 ===> 15%

Step 02:

Percentage:

percentage = part / whole * 100

percentage = 15

part = 6

whole = number = x


\begin{gathered} 15\text{ = }(6)/(x)\cdot100 \\ x\cdot15\text{ = }6\cdot100 \\ x\text{ = }(6\cdot100)/(15)=40 \end{gathered}

The answer is:

The number is 40
