Question

If 6% of a number equals one find 24% of that number

Answer 1

24 % of that number is 4

Explanation:

First solution:

If 6% of a number is 1, then 1% is 1/6 which is a repeating decimal, so we can just take it as 1/6. Then, to find 24% of that number we would have to do 1/6 x 24 which is equal to 24/6. 6 can evenly divide 24 which is 4.

Second solution:

We can see that since 24 is evenly divided by 6, to find 24%, we can multiply 1 by 4 because 6% x 4 = 24%

Therefore, 24% of that number is 4.

Answer 2

We have, 6% × x = 24 or, 6 100 × x = 24

Explanation:

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 6,
