Question

12% of x is 144 then what is x?
where did 144 go?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 1200$

Step-by-step explanation:

$12\% \: of \: x = 144 \\ x \times \frac{12}{100} = 144 \\ x = \frac{100 \times 144}{12} = 1200$

Answer 2

Answer:

First we have to find ‘x’

Given 12x=144,

Let us consider 12x as L.H.S

and 144 as R.H.S

Then,

Divide 12 on both sides i.e, L.H.S and R.H.S

By this we get,

X=144/12

X=12

So the value of x is 12
