_______________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_______________________________________________

(n/100)  * 20 = 6  ?  

Solve for "n"  .

_______________________________________________

Divide each side of the equation by "20" :

{ (n/100) * 20 }  / 20  = 6 / 20 ;

to get:

n/100  = 6/20 ;  

↔ 6/20 = n/100 ; solve for "n" ;

Look at the denominators:

20 * ? = 100 ?

  100/ 20 = ?  ;

  100/20 = 5 ;

So, 20 *  " 5" = 100 ;

Then 6* 5 = "n"  (for the numerator, "n";  in  :   "n /100" ) ;

                  →  6 * 5 = 30 ;

                  →  n = 30 .
