6 is 50% of what number?

the anwser is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 6 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6=100%.

4. We know, that x is 50% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 6=100%

2) x=50%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

6/x=100%/50%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 50% of 6

6/x=100/50

(6/x) * x = (100/50) * x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

6=2*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x

6/2=x

3=x

x=3

now we have:

50% of 6=3

Answer: 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is half of 100%

100% is the 'whole' of the item.

So if we multiply 6 x 2 we get 12.
