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
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12=\frac{150}{100}\times n \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Cross multiply
12 x 100 = 150n
150n = 1200
Divide both sides by 150
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{150n}{150}=\frac{1200}{150} \\ n=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, 12 is 150% of 8
