Question

this year Benny is 12 years old and his mom is 48 years old what percent of his mom's age is Benny's age ​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a percent proportion:

12/x = 48/100

To solve for x, we would do:

x = (12*100)/48 = 1200/48 = 25

x = 25%

In my opinion, the easiest way to do this would be to look at this and notice that 12 * 4 =48 so that means 12 is 1/4 of 48 and 1/4 = 25%.
