(A) Let the number be $x$.According to the problem,$\frac{1}{3}$ of the number minus $\frac{1}{4}$ of the number equals $12$.$\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{4}x = 12$To subtract the fractions,find a common denominator,which is $12$:$\frac{4x}{12} - \frac{3x}{12} = 12$$\frac{x}{12} = 12$Multiply both sides by $12$:$x = 12 	imes 12 = 144$Therefore,the number is $144$.

When $\frac{1}{4}$ of a number is subtracted from $\frac{1}{3}$ of the same number,the remainder obtained is $12$. The number is:
