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

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