Question

6 is 15% of what number?

Answer 1

6 is the correct answer to this equation

Answer 2

`40`

Step-by-step explanation

Let the missing number be x.

This means that:

`15\%\cdot x=6`

Simplifying that, we have:

`(15)/(100)\cdot x=6`

Multiply both sides by 100/15:

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x=6\cdot(100)/(15) \\ x=40 \end{gathered}`

The number is 40.
