Question

$if \: 12.5\% \: of \: x \: is \: 6 \: find \: the \: value \: of \: x$
​

Answer 1

$\sf{ \dfrac{x}{100}x12.5 = 6 } \\ \\ \sf{ \frac{x}{1000} \times 125 = 6} \\ \\ \sf{ \frac{x}{ \cancel{1000}} \times \cancel{125 }} = 6 \\ \\ \sf{ \frac{x}{8} = 6 } \\ \\ \sf{x = 6 \times 8} \\ \\ \boxed{ \sf{x = 48}}$
