Question

7. Find a number whose:
(1) 8% is 6 step by step explanation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Taking the number as x

2. Making an equation to find the number:-

8% of x = 6

8% × x = 6

3. Solving the equation to find the number:-

8/100 × x = 6

8x/100 = 6

2x/25 = 6 (simplified)

2x = 6(25)

2x = 150

x = 150/2

x = 75

Hence, the number is 75

Verification:

8% of 75

8/100 × 75

2/25 × 75 (simplified)

2 × 3 (simplified)

6

Thus, It is verified that 8% of 75 is 6.
