10% of what equals 6

Answer 1

To find out what number \( x \) satisfies the equation \( 10% \) of \( x \) equals \( 6 \), you can set up the equation:

\[ 0.10 \times x = 6 \]

Now, solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by \( 0.10 \):

\[ x = \frac{6}{0.10} = 60 \]

Therefore, \( 10% \) of \( 60 \) equals \( 6 \). The answer is \( 60 \).
