Question

6 is 25% of what number

Answer 1

This would be set up as: 6/   = 25/100
so we have to cross multiply 6*100= 600 then 600 divided by 25= 24
Therefore 24 is the answer.

Answer 2

6 represents 25% of a larger number.
What number (x) represents 100%?

625=x100

x=6×10025 ← cross multiply

x=24

OR: understand that 25% is the same fraction as one quarter.

So if ONE quarter is 6, then FOUR quarters = 4 x 6 = 24.

OR: Draw a rectangle and divide it into 4 equal parts. (each is 25% or one quarter of the total. Write 6 in each of the parts.

Total = 24.
