Make an equation out of the statement "51 is 6% of what number".

Remember:
-- 6%  means 0.06
-- "is" means the same as "equals"
-- in math, "of" almost always means "times"

Give the answer a label, and you'll be ready to begin.
Let's call it ' M ' for "mystery number".

                       51    is    6%    of    (the answer)

                       51    =   0.06    x         M   

Can you solve that equation and find out what ' M ' is ?

What if you divide each side by  0.06 ?
Then it says
                       51 / 0.06    =    M

Pick up your pencil or your calculator, and divide 51 by 0.06 .
You get  850 .  Now your equation says

                             850  =  M

Isn't that exactly what you want ?
It says 'Mystery number' is  850 .

Try it on your calculator.
Take  6%  of  850 .  You'll get  51, just like the problem says.

<span><span>Okay, so let's start by setting up this problem:
</span>(original number=x)(percentage=.06)=(percentage of original number)</span>
So it should look like this:
<span>(x)(.06)=51 Now we should divide .06 from each side
</span><span>x=850 And there we go! 850 is the answer.
i hope this help

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular prisms are basically cuboids.

So using the formula to calculate volume of the cuboid i.e.

V = length x breadth(width) x height

= 15 x 8 x 5

= 600ft³
