MATH PROBLEM PELASE HELP!!!! 12 is 48% of what number?

Question

12 is 48% of what number? PLEASE HELP!!!!! please explain work if possible!!! please

Answer 1

12 = 48% of A

A = 12 : 48% (12 divided by 48%)

A = 12 * 100 : 48

A = 25

Answer 2

Let the number you are looking for equal x.

48% = 0.48.

12 = 0.48*x

x = 12/0.48

x = 25

Answer 3

Hi there...

Well if 12 is 48% of some number, then 1% of that number will be 12/48. So 1% = 12/48, therefore to find 100% of the number (ie. the number itself) we multiply 1% by 100.

So, (12/48) x 100 = 1200/48 = 25.

Therefore 12 is 48% of 25.

Another way you could do this problem and set out the working is to call the unknown quantity say "M" and form an equation to solve for M:

12 = 48% of M..........states what was given.

12 = (48/100) x M..... % means /100 and "of" means "x".

12 = 48M/100

1200 = 48M

1200/48 = M

25 = M

M = 25

Both methods are the same process but just in a different format.

Hope it helps (^_^)

Answer 4

12 ÷ 48%

= 12 ÷ 48/100

= 12 x 25/12

= 300/12

= 25

Answer 5

Just divide 12 by 48 and multiply the number by 100

12 divided by 48 = 1/4

1/4 x 100 = 25

By dividing 12 by 48, you are finding 1% of the answer

By multiplying the number by 100, you are finding 100% of the number

Hope this helps

Answer 6

Think of it like this:

12   is 48% of what?

12 = .48 x N

(N being number)

"of" is "times," and "is" is "="

now just solve from there.

12/.48 = N         divide

25=N                 solve!

hope that helped!
