Question

Use the grid to create a model to solve the percent problem. 12 is 60% of what number? Enter your answer in the box

Answer 1

Answer:  12 is 60 % of 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take a 10 box grid,

In which every box shows 10 %, ( Shown below )

Hence, the whole grid shows total 100% .

In the grid,

$60\% = 12$

$1\% = \frac{12}{60}$  

$1\%=\frac{1}{5}$

$100\% = \frac{100}{5}=20$

Hence, 12 is 60 % of 20.

Answer 2

Is means equal to and of means multiply. So....your equation would be 12=60%x. Now since u can't multiply by a percent, u gotta do 12=.6x. Now divide by .6 so that it cancels out. Your answer is 20. Hope this helps!
