Answer:

  1. 12=0.005×w
  2. the number is 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

An appropriate representation of the problem can be had by using a variable to represent "what number" and then using the math equivalent symbols for the English words. If "what number" is represented by w, then we want to translate ...

  0.5% of w is 12 . . . . English

  0.005 × w = 12 . . . . . . . matches choice 1

This can be solved by multiplying by 200

  200(0.005w) = 200(12)

  w = 2400

The number is 2400.
