Question

6 is 15% of what amount

Answer 1

Hi! So this is how I solve it (the answer is at the end):
6/x = 15/100
You cross multiply (6x100=600) and then divide by 15
Once you divide 600 by 15 you should get 40
Hopefully this makes sense :)

Answer 2

6 is what percent of 15? = 40.

I hope this answers your question
