In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data:
6 ===> 15%
Step 02:
Percentage:
percentage = part / whole * 100
percentage = 15
part = 6
whole = number = x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15\text{ = }\frac{6}{x}\cdot100 \\ x\cdot15\text{ = }6\cdot100 \\ x\text{ = }\frac{6\cdot100}{15}=40 \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is:
The number is 40
