Q:

12 is 150% of what number

Accepted Solution

A:
The equation I'm going to use is the equation you would use with the original number to find 150% pecent of it.
1.5x=12
Now, let's divide both sides by 1.5.
12Γ·1.5=8
Let's check our answer.
We can split 150% in 2 segments, the 100% and the 50%.
8+4=12
Adding 100% of 8 and 50% of 8.
12 is 150% of 8.
