" What percent OF "6" is "1.2" ? "
______________________________________________________
{ n/100 } * 6 = 1.2 ; Solve for "n" ;
Divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to get:
n/100 = 1.2 / 6 ;
→ n / 100 = 0.2 ;
Multiply each side of the equation by "100" ;
to isolate "n" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "n" ;
→ n = (0.2) * 100 ;
→ n = "20" .
Answer: "20 % of 6 is 12 " .
_______________________________________
Alternate method:
(n/100) * 6 = 1.2 ;
(n/100) * (6/1) = 1.2 ;
6n/ 100 = 1.2 ;
6n = 1.2 * 100 ;
6n = 120 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to isolate "n" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "n" ;
6n / 6 = 120 / 6 ;
n = "20"

→ "20 %" of 6 is 1.2 " .

Alternate method:
__________________________
n/100 * 6 = 1.2 ;
→ 6n / 100 = 1.2 ;
→ 3n / 50 = 1.2 ;
→ 3n = 1.2 * 50 ;
→ 3n = 60.0
→ 3n = 60 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "3" ;
to isolate "n" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "n" ;
→ 3n/ 3 = 60 / 3 ;
→ n = "20" ;
Answer: " 20 % " of 6 is 1.2 " .
