Question

What is 1/10 of 6,000

Answer 1

600 is your answer....

Answer 2

1. We assume, that the number 10 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 10 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10=100%. 
4. We know, that x is 6000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6000%. 
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10=100%
2) x=6000%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
10/x=100%/6000%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 6000% of 10

10/x=100/6000
(10/x)*x=(100/6000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10=0.0166666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0166666666667) to get x
10/0.0166666666667=x 
600=x 
x=600

now we have: 
6000% of 10=600
