Is the answer 30
0.2x = 6
x = ?
Yes.
To find out what number 6 is 20% of, you can use the formula:
(Number) = (Percentage) × (Total)
In this case, you are trying to find the number represented by 6, which is 20% of some unknown number.
Let's represent the unknown number as "x".
Putting the values into the formula:
6 = 0.20 × x
Now, we can solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the decimal:
6 × 5 = 0.20 × 5 × x
30 = 1 × x
So, the number that 6 is 20% of is 30.
