Steps to find the percentage of a number

Method 1: Using Proportions

Let's find 6% of 2 using proportion.

6% is 6 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 6 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 2.

\[ \frac{ 6 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 2 } \]

Cross-multiply: 6 × 2 = 100x

\[ 6 \cdot 2 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (6 × 2) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 12 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 6% of 2 is 0.12.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 6% to decimal: 0.06

\[ x = 2 \cdot 0.06 \]

Multiply 2 × 0.06 = 0.12

So, 6% of 2 is 0.12.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 6% to decimal: 0.06

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

2 × 0.06 = 0.12

Thus, 6% of 2 is 0.12.
