15% of 80 = 80*15/100 = 12
The word increase means the problem is addition: 15 + x = 27. Reorder the problem so that it is subtraction: 27 - 15 = x and solve for x. X = 12.
Let x represent the unknown nimber. Set up the equation and solve (15% is the same as .15) .15 * x = 18 (next divide both sides by .15 to solve for x) x = 120 15% of 120 = 18
.15x = 6 Divide both sides by .15 6/.15 = 40 15 percent of 40 is 6.
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.
