There seem to be a few questions about percentage here. One thing most important to know about percentage is that it is basically just "part over whole" multiplied by one hundred to give you that actual % meaning.

So, in your question what percent is 6 of 7, you can just put it into the definition "part over whole" multiplied by 100:

6/7 * 100 = 85.714285714 or rounded to 85.7%
