Question

4. What percent of :
(a) 24 is 6 ?​

Answer 1

                                                       ANSWER

Let 6 be x% of 24

So,

x/100 × 24 = 6

Now, transposing 24 from L.H.S. to R.H.S, the operator changes from multiplication to division, so we get,

x/100 = 6/24    ⇔  x/100 = 1/4

Now, transposing 100 from L.H.S. to R.H.S, the operator changes from division from multiplication, so we get,

x = 100 × 1/4

⇒ x = 100/4

So,

x = 25

∴ 6 is 25% of 24

                                                      ----------------

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{6}{24} \times 100$

$\frac{1}{4} \times 100$

$\frac{1}{1} \times 25$

Ans. = 25%
