First, let's create an equation for this problem. Let x repersent the unknown number.
[tex] \frac{7.5}{100} [/tex] =[tex] \frac{12}{x} [/tex]
Next, you would cross multiply.
7.5x = 1,200
The last step would be to isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 7.5.
x = 160
12 is 7.5% of 160.
I hope this helps!
