The area of one room is 12 m2, and it is 25% of the area of the entire apartment. Find the area of the entire apartment.

According to the terms of the assignment, it is necessary to determine the area of the entire apartment if we know that its 25% is S of one room, equal to 12 m².

To solve, you need to make a proportion:

x = 100%.

12 m² = 25%.

Let’s write the equation, acting according to the “cross” rule and find the value of the variable:

x = 100 * 12: 25 = 1200: 25 = 48 m².

Problem type: direct proportional relationship.
