What is percentage?
Percentage is the amount or the part of a whole in a hundred. The percentage number is a ratio which is expressed as a fraction of 100.
The 1.5% of a number is 60, then the number is,
[tex]x\times1.5 \%=60[/tex]
[tex]x\times\dfrac{1.5}{100} =60[/tex]
Multiple both side by 100. Thus,
[tex]x\times1.5=60\times 100[/tex]
Divide both side by 1.5. Thus,
[tex]x=\dfrac{6000}{1.5}[/tex]
[tex]x=4000[/tex]
Hence the 1.5% of the number 4000 is 60.
