To find out what number 6 is 10% of, you follow these steps:
1. Understand that 10% can also be expressed as 0.10 in decimal form. Percent means "per hundred," so 10% equals 10 per hundred or 10/100 which simplifies to 0.10.
2. When you are given a percentage (10% in this case) and a part of the whole (6), and you need to find the whole, you can set up the equation:
part = percentage * whole
3. To find the whole when you have the part and the percentage, rearrange the equation to solve for the whole:
whole = part / percentage
4. Plug the values into the equation. You have the part (6) and the percentage (0.10):
whole = 6 / 0.10
5. Perform the division:
whole = 6 ÷ 0.10
= 60
So, 6 is 10% of 60. Therefore, the correct answer is the first option:
☑️ 60
