Answer 1

$let \: the \: number \: is \: x \: in \: every \: case \\ \\ (i) \: 6\% \: of \: x = 18 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > \frac{6x}{100} = 18 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > x = 18 \times \frac{100}{6} = 300$

$(ii) \: 15\% \: ofx \: = \: 114 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > \frac{15x}{100} = 114 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > x = 114 \times \frac{100}{15} = 760$

$(iii) \: 8.3\% \: of \: x = \: 581 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > \: \frac{8.3x}{100} = 581 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > x = 581 \times \frac{100}{8.3} = 7000$

$Hope \: this \: helps\: you \: :)$
