Let's use algebra to solve the problem: Let x be the number we're looking for. We know that "15% of a number" is the same as 0.15 times the number, so we can write: 0.15x = 12 To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.15: x = 12 ÷ 0.15 x = 80 Therefore, the number we're looking fRead more
Let’s use algebra to solve the problem:
Let x be the number we’re looking for.
We know that “15% of a number” is the same as 0.15 times the number, so we can write:
0.15x = 12
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.15:
x = 12 ÷ 0.15
x = 80
Therefore, the number we’re looking for is 80.
