Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________
(n/100) * 20 = 6 ?
Solve for "n" .
_______________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "20" :
{ (n/100) * 20 } / 20 = 6 / 20 ;
to get:
n/100 = 6/20 ;
↔ 6/20 = n/100 ; solve for "n" ;
Look at the denominators:
20 * ? = 100 ?
100/ 20 = ? ;
100/20 = 5 ;
So, 20 * " 5" = 100 ;
Then 6* 5 = "n" (for the numerator, "n"; in : "n /100" ) ;
→ 6 * 5 = 30 ;
→ n = 30 .
