Question

23 is 12% of what number

Answer 1

$\frac { 12 }{ 100 } \cdot x=23\\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac { 3 }{ 25 } \cdot x=23\\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac { 25 }{ 3 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 25 } \cdot x=23\cdot \frac { 25 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad x=\frac { \left( 20+3 \right) \left( 25 \right) }{ 3 } \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad x=\frac { 500+75 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad x=\frac { 575 }{ 3 }$
