What is 35% of a number if 12 is 15% of a number?

A. 5
B. 12
C. 28
D. 33
E. 62

Letting n = the number, we have:

12 = 0.15n

80 = n

So 35% of the number is 0.35 x 80 = 28.

Answer: C

12 is 15% of a number. Which means 4 is 5%. Which means 100% will be 80. So the number is 80

35% of 80 is 24+4=28
