Question

6 is 37 1/2% of what number ?​

Answer 1

The answer is 16.

If x% of y is z; then its shown as

$x \times \frac{y}{100} = z$

Here we have; y = $37 \frac{1}{2}$ & z= 6

Therefore,

$x = \frac{z \times 100}{y} \\ x = \frac{6 \times 100}{37 \frac{1}{2} } \\ x = \frac{600}{ \frac{75}{2} } \\ x = \frac{600 \times 2}{75} = \frac{1200}{75} = 16$

$Thus, \: 6 \: is \: 37 \frac{1}{2} \% \: of \: 16.$
