You can work it out yourself. 6% is the same as 6/100, so 6% of 50 is (6/100)*50. Then do some algebra and see if you can jiggle it to say (50/100)*6. Then replace 6 and 50 with Greek letters so it looks more convincing.
Nah, I prefer to treat my math problems like climate change. With denial.
6% of 100 is the same as 100% of 6.
