Find the unknown value in the percent proportion part/whole=percent/100
Part =15 percent =12
To find the unknown value in the percent proportion, we can use the formula:
part / whole = percent / 100
We are given that the part is 12 and the percent is 15. Let's substitute these values into the formula:
12 / whole = 15 / 100
To solve for the whole, we can cross multiply:
12 * 100 = whole * 15
1200 = 15 * whole
To isolate the whole, we can divide both sides of the equation by 15:
whole = 1200 / 15
Simplifying this expression, we get:
whole = 80
Therefore, the unknown value (whole) in the percent proportion is 80.
