51 is 6% of what number ?
\n" ); document.write( "Okay, so let's start by setting up this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "(original number=x)(percentage=.06)=(percentage of original number)
\n" ); document.write( "So it should look like this:
\n" ); document.write( "(x)(.06)=51 Now we should divide .06 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "x=850 And there we go! 850 is the answer.
\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helped! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
