80% of what # = 12000

15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever I think about solving problems with percentages, I know that I either have to multiply or divide to get the answer.

In this, in other to get the bigger number, aka the denominator (which is essentially the number that is being solved for to obtain the %), I know I have to divide the smaller number by the percentage.

80% = .80

(Because it needs to be a decimal)

12,000 divided by .80 = 15,000

Hope this helps!

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
