To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
Larger number(x)=20
Step-by-step explanation:
They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.
The smallest number=35-x.
The larger number= x.
3 times the larger number=3x
4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)
Now, input it into an equation and solve:
3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.
3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.
7x/7=140/7 Divide.
x=20
Since x= the larger number, x=20.
