1% it is 1/100 of something. To find 1% of 6000 you need to divide 6000on 100(%) it will be 60 wich meens on 1% we have 60 to find out how much on 2.5% we need to multiply 2.5 on 60 and it will be 150. So, 2.5% of 6000 will be 150. If you will read my explanation you will understand and next time you will do that by your self just remember even if we don't have 100% it is always in the picture.You just figure out what is 100%.

The answer is 150 becuase:
2.5% of 6000
=2.5% x 6000
=0.025 x 6000
=150
To make a percent into a decimal, just move the decimal point to the left 2 spaces (divide by 100).

Multiply the 6000 by the rate that corresponds to 2.5%
Rate = %/100
Move the % decimal point 2 places to the left
.025*6000 = 150

just move the decimal over twice and multiply times 6000 (2500x6000) if there is no visible like the number 25 is should automatically understood that there is decimal at the end of the number

2.5%of(6000)=(2.5/100)(6000)
=(25/10*100)(6000)
=(25/1000)(6000)=25*6=150 ans
