Explanation:

Formula = Number x 100

Percent = 6 x 100

55 = 10.91

Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula

Step 1: If 55% of a number is 6, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

6

55% = Y

100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

55Y = 6 x 100

55Y = 600

Y = 600

100 = 10.91
