12 is .75x is one way to write this using symbols.

Now we go one more step

and write

12=.75x

In this case it may be easier to see

.75 is 3/4 and write

12=(3/4)x.

Then we find x by multiplying

12 by 4/3 which is

16.

Does this make sense?

If 12 is 3/4 of 16, then

we should have 16x3/4=12 but

16/4=4 and 3x4=12 as desired.
