Question 2
p=

Answer 1

Answer:

  48%

Step-by-step explanation:

   $\dfrac{12}{25}=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\100\cdot\dfrac{12}{25}=p\\\\48=p$

12 is 48% of 25.

Answer 2

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

because 12/25 = p/100

p = the percentage and percent always go from 100.

So 12/15 = p/100 so you do cross multiplication: 12x100 = 25p

so then 12x100 = 1200 and 25p. Then divide both sides

by 25 to get to just p on one side and the answer on the other. So now you would get 48 = p
