Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: Find each number. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

1. 80% of 120.
2. 115% of 6
3. What percent of 128 is 32?
4. 3 is what percent of 36?
5. 23.7 is 30% of what number?
6. 71/2% of what is 12?

1) 80% of 120

= $\frac{80}{100} \times 120= 8\times 12$

= 96

∴ 80% of 120= 96

2) $115\%\ of\ 6$

=$\frac{115}{100}\times 6= 1.15\times 6$

∴ $115\%\ of\ 6$ = 6.9

3) What percent of 128 is 32?

= $\frac{32}{128} \times 100$

= $25\%$

4) 3 is what percent of 36?

= $\frac{3}{36} \times 100$

= $8\%$

5) 23.7 is 30% of what number?

Let the number be "x".

⇒ $\frac{30}{100} \times x= 23.7$

Cross multiplying

⇒ $x= \frac{23.7\times 100}{30}$

∴ x= 79.

6) 71/2% of what is 12?

Lets assume the required number be "x".

⇒ $\frac{71}{2} \times 100\times x= 12$

cross multiplying both side.

⇒x= 33.8

∴ 71/2% of 33.8 is 12
