`x = 6 * (100)/(20)`

`x = 30`

therefore, 20% percent of 30 is 6.

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}`

Let's solve ~

Assume the number to be x, and let's proceed as per the given information :

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: (20)/(100) * x = 6`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: (x)/(5) = 6`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:x = 5 * 6`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:x = 30`

So, the correct choice is C
