Question

How much is 48 from 12,5%

Answer 1

6, but the question makes more sense when asking about 12.5% from 48

Explanation:

to get a percentage of something, we just have to remember that
`X\% = (X)/(100)` and that we just need to multiply.

Yes, percentages are just numbers, but the percentage sign lets us signify the purpose of a number.

48 * 12.5% = 48 * 0.125 = 48 / 8 = 6
