6% of it is 27
I need help. Someone please give me a explanation of how to do this.

You take 6% of a number and the resulting number is 27.

To do this you need to change the percent into a fraction.

6% = 6/100

This is the number you need to multiply to the number you need to find, A.

6/100 A = 27

Solve for x

6 A = 27x100

A= 2700/6

A = 450

Check your

6/100 (A) = 27

6/100 (450) = 27

(6x450) /100 = 27

2700 / 100 = 27

27 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

She does not have enough because if you add 188 and 258 for the total yards of fabric needed it would be 376. Mia has less than that, she would need 64 more yards of fabric and to find this you subtract the 312 from 376=64
