When you do these problems, just divide the part value by the percentage (converted into a decimal value, of course).
6/0.12 = 50.
So 6 is 12% of 50.
Hope that helped you.

6 is 12% 50

Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing the percentage (12) by 100:

(12)/(100) = 0.12

Divide 6 by the decimal (0.12):

6 / 0.12 = 50
