12 is %60 percent of what number?

There are a couple ways to solve this. One way, and probably the easiest way, is by using proportions.

The two fractions we need to use are 12/x and 60/100 These two fractions are equal, but we don't know what the denominator of the first fraction.

We can find that out by cross multiplying. If our fractions are a/b and c/d we need to multiply a and d then b and c. Somehow, these two products are going to match up.

So, we multiply 12 and 100 to get 1200. Multiplying x and 60, we get 60x.

Since 1200=60x, we just need to divide 1200 by 60 to get x. (That equals 20 btw)

In conclusion 12 is 60% of 20.

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5

a+b=c is your answer
