6/25 is 24%
all you need to do is divide 6 by 25 and multiply by 100

6/100 is the same as 6%
'Percent' means divided by (or over) 100.
The rule is to convert a fraction to a percent you divide the numerator (the number on top) by the denominator (the number at the bottom) and multiple the result by 100.
Hint:It's better to use long division.
e.g convert 3/4 into a percent
3 divided by 4= 0.75
0.75 times 100 = 75
Ans= 75%
Note. Per cent (cent means 100 in french)

6/100 is 6% b/c u multiply .06 by 100... u get .06 by dividing 6 by 100... or u can just think about it as if there is 100% and 6/100 is what then it has to be 6% if the equation was 6/10 tho u would get 60% b/c u can add a zero to both parts of the fraction and get 60/100

when you go 6 divided by 100 = .06 but to make it a %, you have to move the decimal 2 places to the right. which makes it 6%. some people get 60% well it's not. if you go 60 divided by 100 = .6. and if you move it 2 decimals over, that's 60%

6% just the top number over 100 is a percent

6%.....anything over 100 automatically makes that number the percent. so if it's 25/100, then it's 25%

percent means out of 100. so 6 out of 100 is 100%.
20 out of 100 is 20%
50 out of 100 is 50%
I read somewhere you can try to remember this by picturing the percent sign and noting the 2 circles, hence out of 100.

its like this:
6/100 = 6 divided by 100
thats equal to .06
if you want to find out how many percent .06 is- just multiply it by 100%.
there its 6%!

per cent literally means for 100
think about it this way. If you have 6 pennies... how would you write that? If fifty cents is .50 and a quarter is .25... how would you write 6 cents?
Of course, you could simply write 6 percent as 6%
By the way -- PLEASE TALK WITH YOUR TEACHER. This is VERY basic stuff that you should have gotten in class. Were you paying attention?
