If 50 percent of a number is 12, what is the number?

Explanation:
50 percent means half. If half of a number is 12, the whole number must be twice 12, which is 24. You can check: 0.5 × 24 = 12. The other options don’t work because half of 12 is 6, half of 48 is 24, and half of 6 is 3, none equal 12. So the number is 24.
