1. **Problem:** What percent is 6 out of 7? 2. **Formula:** To find what percent a number $a$ is of another number $b$, use the formula: $$\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{a}{b}\right) \times 100$$ 3. **Apply the formula:** Here, $a=6$ and $b=7$. $$\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{6}{7}\right) \times 100$$ 4. **Calculate the fraction:** $$\frac{6}{7} \approx 0.8571$$ 5. **Multiply by 100:** $$0.8571 \times 100 = 85.71$$ 6. **Answer:** 6 is approximately **85.71%** of 7. This means if you divide 6 by 7 and multiply by 100, you get the percentage representation.
