Question

12 is 30% of______________ pls help

Answer 1

40

the

answer

is

40

Answer 2

The 30% of a number can be calculated multiplying that number by 0.3, so, if we call the number we don't know x, we can write this equation:

0.3x = 12

And then solve it for x::

x = 12/0.3 = 40

So now we know that the number is 40.

We can replace the 40 in the equation to get if our answer is correct or not..

30% of 40: 0.3 * 40 = 12

And then, we see it's correct
