Answer: x = 52
Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100 so we know that 25% means 25/100. Of means times, what number means x, is means equals, and 12 means 12. So we can translate this problem into an equation.
So we have the equation 25/100 · X = 13
Notice that 25/100 can be reduced to 1/4.
So rewriting our problem we have X/4 = 13.
To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 and we have x = 52.
This means that 25% of 52 is 13.
