Question

What percent of 6 is 24?

Answer 1

So you are asking... 24 is what percent of 6? Percent is out of one hundred.

Part over whole.

24/6 = x/100

You know your answer will be > 100% because 24 > 6.

Cross multiply and solve for x.

6x = 2400

x = 400

24 is 400% of 6

Answer 2

what percent of 6 is 24?

we can change this into an equation where 'of' means multiplication and 'is' means equals. then the 'what percent' part is variable y.

so, y * 6=24, or 6y=24.

then divide the 6 on both sides and get 4.

to change to a percent, you move the decimal point two places to the right.

so, 400%

Answer 3

you solve it in the same way you would solve similar questions like 'what percent of 10 is 5?'

though the answer is obviously 50%, the working out behind it would be 5/10 x 100 = 50%

using the same principle for your question-

24/6 x 100 = 400%

.: 24 is 400% of 6

Answer 4

400%. 24 is 4 times 6. Each whole multiple of something is 100%, so four times is 400%, and that's what percent of 6 is represented by 24.
