Question

$5\%$ of which number is $12$?

Answer 1

Finding the percentage of integer

Let the required number be $\mathrm{X}$

So,

$5\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{X}=12$

$\frac{5}{100}\times \left(\mathrm{X}\right)=12$

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{X}=\frac{100}{5}\times 12 \\ \mathrm{X}=\frac{1200}{5} \\ \mathrm{X}=240 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $5\%$ of $240$ is $12$
