Answer:

12

Explanation:

12 beacuse We assume, that the number 48 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

x is the value we are looking for

Now we have two simple equations:

1) 48=100%

2) x=25%

48/x=100%/25%

Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

Solution for what is 25% of 48

48/x=100/25

(48/x)*x=(100/25)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

48=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x

48/4=x

12=x

x=12

now we have:

25% of 48=12
