Imagine you have something, let's call it b. Now, someone tells you that if you take 75% of b, you get 12. So, you set up a little equation to figure out what b actually is.
You'd write it like this: 75% of b equals 12, or in math talk: 0.75b = 12.
Then, you'd do a bit of math magic to solve for b: b = 12/0.75, and voilà! b turns out to be 16.
In simpler terms, if you have something b, and 75% of it is 12, then that something b must be 16.
84 percent, that's a "B."
75% of 12 = 9
75% of 12= 75% * 12= 0.75 * 12= 9
12/75 = 12 ÷ 75 = 0.16
b
12 over 75 in decimal form = 0.16
x = 16 x * .75 = 12 12 / .75 = x
75 percent of 12 is the same as 0.75 x 12 or 3/4 of 12. in other words the answer is 4.
It is: 12/75 = 0.16
% rate = 75/12 * 100% = 625%
12 / 16 = .75 = 3/4 = 75%
12/75 = 0.16 as a decimal
