Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Unknown number = 150.

● Explanation -

Let x be the number whose 8% is 12.

So according to the equation -

8% of x = 12

8/100 × x = 12

x = 12 × 100 / 8

x = 3 × 100 / 2

x = 3 × 50

x = 150

Hence, the number whose 8% is 12 is 150.

Thanks dear. Hope this is helpful to you...
