Question

What percent of 8 is 6

Answer 1

if we take 6 to be the 100%, what is 8 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 6&100\\ 8&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{6}{8}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 3x=400\implies x=\cfrac{400}{3}\implies x=133.\overline{3}$
