$6000.00 is 25% of what number

Question

I need to know how to calculate this --- 6000 is 25% of what number

Answer 1

6,000$=25% av x....=x/4

x=4*6000

x=24,000$

Answer 2

Te basic formula is: X · 25% = Z

In your case: X · 25% = 6,000

You get X alone: X = 6,000 / 25%

And operate: X = 24,000

 

If you think it, you can make it even faster. 25% is a fourth. So, in order to get the full number, you have to multiply by 4: 6x4=24 -> 24,000.
