What is percentage?

"It is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100."

For given example,

30 percent of the students in your class like basketball.

We need to find the total number of students if 6 students like basketball.

Let there are 'x' students in the class.

⇒ x × 30% = 6

⇒ x × (30/100) = 6

⇒ x = 6/0.3

⇒ x = 20

Therefore, there are 20 students in the class.
