Michael ate 6 bananas. This represents 40% of a bag of bananas. How many
bananas were originally in the bag?

2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

40 percent * 6 =

(40:100)* 6 =

(40* 6):100 =

240:100 = 2.4

Now we have: 40 percent of 6 = 2.4

Question: What is 40 percent of 6?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 6.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$6=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=40\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$6=100\%(1)$.

$x=40\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{6}{x}=\frac{100\%}{40\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{6}=\frac{40}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=2.4$

Therefore, $40\%$ of $6$ is $2.4$
