Just divide 100 by 6.

Explanation:

If you want to make it look better, do:

6x = 100

x = 100/6

x = 16.6666...

x = 16.7" " (2d.p.)

So

? = 16.7" " (2 d.p)

The ? is worth 50/3

Explanation:

color(brown)("The = means that the value on its left is exactly the same as the")
color(brown)("value on its right. So we need to find some way of turning 6 into 100")

So in steps we can do this:

If we divide 6 by 6 we get 1

If we multiply 1 by 100 we get 100

This looks like

6-:6xx100=100

This is the same as

6xx1/6xx100=100

6xx100/6=100

So your ? = 100/6

Both 100 and 6 are even so both are exactly divisible by 2

?=(100-:2)/(6-:2)

?=50/3
