The equation I'm going to use is the equation you would use with the original number to find 150% pecent of it.
1.5x=12
Now, let's divide both sides by 1.5.
12÷1.5=8
Let's check our answer.
We can split 150% in 2 segments, the 100% and the 50%.
8+4=12
Adding 100% of 8 and 50% of 8.
12 is 150% of 8.
Histrionicus

In this case, 12 is 150% of - 8.

Percent "%" means "part out of 100", Therefore 12% can be written as 12/100. In the concept of percentage the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

  • let us assume the number is = "n".
  • Putting this all together we can write this equation and solve for n while keeping the equation balanced:

=> 150% × x = 12

=> or, x =  

=> X = [tex]\frac{1200}{150}[/tex]

= 8

Thus, 12 is 150% of - 8.
