6/100 is in written terms - six one hundreths. To express as a percent in terms of 100 you need to know that 100 percent is expressed as 100%, and since 6 is a portion of 100 expressed as a percent it would be 6%.

Any number, provided it is positive and less than 100 can be expressed as that number followed by a % sign if you are trying to express it as a percent of 100. Percents of numbers other than 100 have to be calculated.
