Question

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
8% of a number is 6. What is the number?

(a) 48
(b) 96
(c) 75
(d) 60

Answer 1

(c) 75

Let the required number be x. Then, we have:
8% of x = 6
⇒ $\left(\frac{8}{100}\times x\right)=6$
∴ x = $\left(\frac{6\times 100}{8}\right)=75$
Hence, the required number is 75
