Question

What percent of 25 is 12

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

to solve this you would use the
`(part)/(whole)` =
`(percent)/(100)` equation.

the whole would be 25 as that is what you are taking the percent out of.

the part would be 12, as that is what the percent of the whole equals.

plug those in:

`(12)/(25) = (percent)/(100)`

change the percent to an x, as that is what we're solving for

`(12)/(25) = (x)/(100)`

cross multiply to get

`25x=1200`

isolate the variable by dividing by 25 on both sides

`(25x)/(25) = (1200)/(25)`

you should get
`x=48`

48 is your answer

Answer 2

48%

Explanation:

25 is 100% of 25

so

25----------------100%

12------------------ X

Cross multiplication

25X = 12x100

25X = 1200

X = 48

I makes sense since half (50%) of 25 is 12.5 So 12 is a little less than half
