    On a Math test, 12 students earned an A. This number is exactly 25% of the total number of students in the class. How many students are in the class?

    Let the total number of students be s. Since 25% is 0.25 as a decimal, We have an equation:
    0.25s = 12

    Type this equation into our search engine, and we get:
    s = 48
