12% of Gilbert's contribution is 600
0.12x = 600
x = 600/0.12
x = 5000 <==

Answer:

D. $5000

Explanation:

Let "x" be the Gilbert contribution.

Gilbert's employer contribution is 12% which is $600.

12% of x = 600

12/100 * x = 600

0.12*x = 600

Dividing both sides by 0.12, we get

x = 600/0.12

x = $5000

Answer: D. $5000

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
