Answer:

240

Explanation:

So here’s the step by step (for the show your work thingy)

so we can write an equation

0.05x=12

We use 0.05 becuase 5 percent is basically 5/100 and the x is used becuase we don’t know what the number is and the =12 is for the number that came out as a final result

ow we can solve the equation

x=12/0/05

x=240

Final answer is 240
