Answer 1

is means equal to and of means multiply. So....your equation would be 12=60%x. Now since u can't multiply by a percent, u gotta do 12=.6x. Now divide by .6 so that it cancels out. Your answer is 20. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: 12 is 60 % of 20.

Explanation:

Let us take a 10 box grid,

In which every box shows 10 %, ( Shown below )

Hence, the whole grid shows total 100% .

In the grid,

`60\% = 12`

`1\% = (12)/(60)`

`1\%=(1)/(5)`

`100\% = (100)/(5)=20`

Hence, 12 is 60 % of 20.
