Question

6% of it is 27
I need help. Someone please give me a explanation of how to do this.

Answer 1

You take 6% of a number and the resulting number is 27.

To do this you need to change the percent into a fraction.

6% = 6/100

This is the number you need to multiply to the number you need to find, A.

6/100 A = 27

Solve for x

6 A = 27x100

A= 2700/6

A = 450

Check your answer:

6/100 (A) = 27

6/100 (450) = 27

(6x450) /100 = 27

2700 / 100 = 27

27 = 27
