Question

12 is 150% of what number?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Explanation:

12 is 150% of what number?

Let the number be represented by n

12 is 150% of n

This can be written mathematically as

$\begin{gathered} 12=\frac{150}{100}\times n \\ \end{gathered}$

Cross multiply

12 x 100 = 150n

150n = 1200

Divide both sides by 150

$\begin{gathered} \frac{150n}{150}=\frac{1200}{150} \\ n=8 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 12 is 150% of 8
