First change 2.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100. 2.5÷100=0.025. Then multiply 6 by 0.025. 6×0.025=0.15. Finally add 0.15 to 6 for the answer. 6+0.15=6.15. So the answer is $6.15.
To make this easier we can convert the fractions to whole numbers and then back. Lets have 100 represent the can. 1/4 = .25 so we will convert it to 25 100 - 25 = 75 1/5 of 75 is 15 75 - 15 = 60 60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5
