1.5

But let me teach you a life lesson that I have never forgotten.

Lets setup a proportion. is over of equals percent divided by 100

let me show it to u know:

Is / Of = %/100

So you asked What is 25 % of 6 ?

the Is = x

we solve for x

plug it in the proportion:

X / 6 = 25 / 100

Cross multiply and divide to solve for X.

6*25 = X*100

150 = x100

divide by 100

1.5 = X

you can do this proportion with tons of different sales prices etc.

So if you see ie: Sales price: 11.99 and you take off an extra 15% discount for the clothing sale. you can quickly do this math and figure out how much the item will cost.

What is 15% of 11.99$?

X / 11.99 = 15 /100

X = $ 1.80 saved
