What is percentage?
"It is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100."
For given example,
30 percent of the students in your class like basketball.
We need to find the total number of students if 6 students like basketball.
Let there are 'x' students in the class.
⇒ x × 30% = 6
⇒ x × (30/100) = 6
⇒ x = 6/0.3
⇒ x = 20
Therefore, there are 20 students in the class.
