Question

a family paid 21,600 as a down payment on a home. if this represents 12% of the price of the home, find the price of the home

Answer 1

Since we know 21,600 is 12 percent then 21,600/12 must be 1 percent.
21,600/12= 1800.
Now if that's 1% then we just multiply it by 100 to get 100%
1,800 x 100= 180000
