How do you cross multiply ?​

Answer 1

Cross multiplying is literally what you do multiplying diagonally.

Explanation:

Here you would multiply 12 by 100% and x by 10.

We convert the percents into decimals first.

So 12 * 1 = 12 and x * 0.1 = x/10

So x/10 = 12

Then we multiply each side by 10.

x = 120.
