Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
use the proportion: "Is/Of equals Percent/100"
'what is' means assign a variable
'Is Equal to' = 12
'Of What Number' means assign a variable = n
24% = 24/100
put it all together:
12/n = 24/100
cross-multiply to get:
24n = 1200
n = 1200/24
n = 50
24% of 12 is 2.88.
Let the unknown (the "what") be n. Then 24% of n is 12. To calculate this, convert the 24% to 0.24 and multiply 12 by it:
0.24n = 12, so n = 12/0.24 = 50
24% of 50 is 12
