You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6% means 6%2F100;
"of" in this arrangement means "multiplication by";
6% of 55 means, %286%2F100%29%2A55.

Simplify what you can best do. The 55 is part of a numerator, and there are some factors enough to be able to simplify the entire expression.

%286%2A55%29%2F100

%282%2A3%2A5%2A11%29%2F%282%2A5%2A2%2A5%29

%28cross%282%29%2A3%2Across%285%29%2A11%29%2F%282%2A5%2Across%282%2A5%29%29
