All real percents.

Explanation:

This is because dividing by 6 on both sides means that the question is asking you what percent of y is 4. 4 could be any number at all, meaning that this problem has an answer of all real percents.

$\frac{6 y}{24} \times 100 %$ $(6y)/24 xx100 %$

As $y$ $y$ is not known a specific value can not be calculated.

I am guessing you mean:

Given that $6 y = 24$ $6y=24$ what is the value of $y$ $y$

$y = 4$ $y=4$

Given: $6 y = 24$ $6y=24$

We need to get rid of the 6 from $6 y$ $6y$ . We can do this by changing it to 1 as $1 \times y$ $1xxy$ is just $y$ $y$

Divide both sides of the = by $6$ $color(red)(6)$

$6 y = 24 dddd \to dddd \frac{6}{6} y = \frac{24}{6}$ $color(green)(6y=24color(white)("dddd")->color(white)("dddd")6/color(red)(6)y=24/color(red)(6))$

but $\frac{6}{6} = 1$ $6/6=1$

$dddddddddd \to dddd 1 \times y = 4$ $color(green)(color(white)("dddddddddd")->color(white)("dddd")1xxy=4$

$dddddddddd \to ddddddd y = 4$ $color(green)(color(white)("dddddddddd")->color(white)("ddddddd")y=4$
