Answer 5

that gets you .25 which is equivalent to 25%

Answer 6

percent problems can be easily solved by using the percent formula :
is/of = %/100

Now look at your problem and assign values
" is " = 12
" of " = 48
% = x (because this is what we are solving for
now we sub into percent formula

12/48 = x/100 --- since this is a proportion, we must cross multiply
(48)(x) = (12)(100)
48x = 1200 -- divide both sides by 48
x = 25

so...12 people is 25% of 48

you can use this formula for any percent problem...just be sure and assign the numbers to the right position
