Answer:

4.0008

Explanation:

If you take 6 percent of a number and get 1, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 6 percent of a number is 1 and you want to know what that initial number is.

To solve this problem you multiply 1 by 100 and then divide the total by 6 as follows: (1 x 100) / 6

When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer: 16.67

Solution for What is 16.67 percent of 24:

16.67 percent *24 =

(16.67:100)*24 =

(16.67*24):100 =

400.08:100 = 4.0008

Now we have: 16.67 percent of 24 a.k.a your final answer = 4.0008
