There is a quick way to solve many of these questions.
A quick way to do this in your head, is to break down the result.
You want 35%
You have 15%
What is 35%? Two 15%(30) and 1/3rd of a 15%(5).
If you double the known number, you get the answer to the question of 30% of the number is 12 is 15% of it.
So, 12 + 12 is 30%
Now you are 5% off.
1/3rd of 15% is 5%
so 1/3rd of 12 is 4

The number 5.25 is 15% of 35
To find15 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.15. In this instance, 0.15 x 35 = 5.25. Therefore, 15 percent of 35 is equal to 5.25.
12=(15/100)x x=[(12)(100)]/15=(20)(4)=80 Now, 35 percent of a number is (35/100)(80)=Y after cancelling, Y=(7)(4)=28 OR (Shorthand Version) 12/.15=80 80(.35)=28
To find out what number 35 is 15 percent of, you can set up a proportion. Let x represent the unknown number. The proportion would be: 15/100 = 35/x. To solve for x, you can cross multiply to get 15x = 3500. Dividing both sides by 15 gives you x = 233.33. Therefore, 35 is 15 percent of 233.33.
if 12 = 15% 24 = 30% 10 % = 24 divided by 3 10% = 8 1% = 8 divided by 10 1 % = 0.8 35% = 35 x 0.8 35 % = 28
12 divided by 15 =0.8=1%0.8 multiplied by 35=2835% = 28If you need further help post a message on my message board:) Juralique
