Percent means "out of 100", so subtracting 6 "out of one hundred" from 1000 means that we take away 6 units for every hundred units that exist.

1000=10x100

This means that there are 10 sets of 100 units in one thousand units. That means we need to take away 10 sets of 6 units.

10x6=60

6 units for each of 10 sets of 100 units yields 60 units.

1000-60=940

60 units less than 1000 units is 940.
