Jaylah Leblanc · Answer 1

150%

percent measns parts out of 100

150%=150/100=1.5

'of' means multiply

150% of what is 18

1.5 times what=18

divide both sides by 1.5

what=12

the number is 12

Nathen Weaver · Answer 2

150% of 12 would be 18. because if you have 12 you are left with 6, this is 50%. now if you add the 12 (100%) with the 6 (50%) you get 18 (150%)
