Respuesta :

Let the number be x.

x -  x/4 =  12

3x/4 = 12

x = 12*4/3

x = 16

Option D.
The given above may be mathematically expressed as,
                              x/ 4 = x - 12
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 gives,
                              x = 4x - 48
The value of the x from the equation is 16. Therefore, the answer is letter D.
