To find out what number 6 is 25% of, we can set up the equation:
Let x be the number we are looking for.
The equation based on the percentage is:
6 = 0.25 * x
To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:
x = 6 / 0.25
Calculating that gives:
x = 6 * 4 (since dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal)
x = 24
So, 6 is 25% of 24.
