The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 50\% \) of \( 24\% \) of \( ? = 6 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert percentages to fractions First, we convert the percentages into fractions: - \( 50\% = \frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( 24\% = \frac{24}{100} = \frac{24}{100} \) ### Step 2: Set up the equation Now we can express the equation using these fractions: \[ \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{24}{100} \times ? = 6 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the left side Multiplying the fractions: \[ \frac{1 \times 24}{2 \times 100} \times ? = 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{24}{200} \times ? = 6 \] ### Step 4: Further simplify the fraction Now simplify \( \frac{24}{200} \): \[ \frac{24 \div 8}{200 \div 8} = \frac{3}{25} \] So the equation now looks like: \[ \frac{3}{25} \times ? = 6 \] ### Step 5: Isolate the variable To isolate \( ? \), multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{25} \): \[ ? = 6 \times \frac{25}{3} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the right side Now calculate \( 6 \times \frac{25}{3} \): \[ ? = \frac{150}{3} = 50 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( ? \) is \( 50 \). ---
