To solve this, we need to first calculate what the unknown number is. We know that 12 is equivalent to 15 % of the number.
Let the unknown number = X
This means that 12 is to X as 15 is to 100
12 = 15
X 100
X = 12 × 100
15
X = 80
So the number is 80. Now we need to find the 35 % of that number. This will be done is follows:
35 . × 80 = 28
100
Let the unknown number = X
This means that 12 is to X as 15 is to 100
12 = 15
X 100
X = 12 × 100
15
X = 80
So the number is 80. Now we need to find the 35 % of that number. This will be done is follows:
35 . × 80 = 28
100
