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
