4 0
Percent means parts out of 100
15%=15/100=0.15
'of' means multiply

therefor
15% of x equals 12 means
0.15 times x=12
divide both sides by 0.15
x=80



the number is 80

A farmer is dividing 128 eggs into 5 crates , how many eggs will go into each crate?
GaryK [48]
This is a division problem. You can use the standard algorithm of 128/ 5. Or you can create equal groups (draw five circles) and count out eggs until you distribute them all. I would start with 20 in each circle. That would be 20+ 20+ 20+ 20+ 20= 100 Then think 128-100= 28 Next count by 5's. 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 5= 25 Then think what is 28-25= 3 so 128/ 5= 25 with a reminder of 3 eggs left over.

Parker was able to pay for 44% of his college tuition with his scholarship.
WITCHER [35]
The total cost is $17,955.

Let x be the total amount of his tuition.  He paid for 44% of it, or 0.44, with his scholarship. This leaves 100%-44% = 56% = 0.56 of it to be taken care of with loans.  We know he took out 10054.52 in loans:

0.56x = 10054.52

Divide both sides by 0.56:
0.56x/0.56 = 10054.52/0.56
x = 17954.50 ≈ 17955
