Question

12 is 150% of what number?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step 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=(150)/(100)* n \\ \end{gathered}`

Cross multiply

12 x 100 = 150n

150n = 1200

Divide both sides by 150

`\begin{gathered} (150n)/(150)=(1200)/(150) \\ n=8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 12 is 150% of 8
