Answer 1

To isolate \( x \) on the left side of the equation \( 0.01x = 6 \), you should multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \( 0.01 \).

The reciprocal of \( 0.01 \) is \( 100 \) (since \( 1 \div 0.01 = 100 \)).

So, you should multiply each side of the equation by \( 100 \).

Thus, your answer is: 100
