Answer:

20.68976

Explanation:

Convert the percentage into decimal :

58% = 0.58

0.58 × x = 12

Divide both sides by 0.58 :

x = 12÷0.58

x = 20.689655...

x = 20.68976

So the method to these types of question is to make the question into an equation by converting the percentage into a decimal, rearrange to make the unknown number the subject and solve .

Hope you understood and have a good day
