Question

problem 10: spiral review
mentally evaluate the quantity.
6 is what percent of 10?

Explanation:

Step1: Set up percentage formula

Let the unknown percent be $p$. The formula for "what percent of a number is another number" is $\frac{6}{10} = \frac{p}{100}$

Step2: Solve for $p$

Cross-multiply: $10p = 6 \times 100$
Simplify: $10p = 600$
Divide both sides by 10: $p = \frac{600}{10}$

Answer:

60%
