The number is 75 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

8% of a number is 6

To find -

The number

Solution -

Let ,

The number is $x$

Percentage means divide by 100 .

We can write given information as,

$\frac{8}{100}\times x =6$. . . . . . . (1)

Shift $\frac{8}{100}$ to right it becomes $\frac{100}{8}$

$x = 6 \times \frac{100}{8}$

Divide 6 and 8 by 2 we get

$x=3 \times \frac{100}{4}$

Divide 100 by 4 we get

$x =3 \times 25$

$x = 75$

∴ The number is 75 .

By Reverse putting the x value in equation (1) you can cross check it.
