Answer:

500

Explanation:

To find out how much 20 is if 12% equals 60, you can set up a proportion:

12% is to 60 as 20 is to x.

Mathematically, this can be represented as:


(12)/(100) = (60)/(x)

Cross multiply to solve for x:

12x=100×60

12x=6000

Divide both sides by 12:

x=500

Therefore, if 12% is equal to 60, then 20 is equal to 500.

Hope this helps!
