Answer:
Blank 1: 23.04
Blank 2: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
whenever a problem has 'of' it will be a multiplication problem.
also, percentages can be written as decimals - for example, 10% can be written as 0.10
onto the first problem:
72% * (of) 32
0.72 * 32
23.04
12 is 50% * (of) what number? (x)
12 = 0.50 * x
divide both sides of the equation by 0.50
12/0.50 = 0.50x/0.50
12/0.50 = x
24 = x
