Answer :

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

given 6 is 37 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] % = 37.5%

let the number be x

so x represents 100%

Then by proportion

[tex]\frac{number}{percent}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{37.5}[/tex] ( cross multiply )

37.5x = 100 × 6 = 600 ( divide both sides by 37.5 )

x = [tex]\frac{600}{37.5}[/tex] = 16

6 is 37.5% of 16
