Question

12% of ___ shirts is 36 shirts

Answer 1

300 shirts

Explanation:

You can divide 12% by itself to find one percent, then divide the 36 shirts by 12 as well.

What you do to one side, you need to do to the other.

Now that we have our numbers after dividing (you should have 1% and 3 shirts) you can see what 100% would be. To do this you would multiply 1% by 100 and multiply 3 shirts by 100.

Now we know that 12% of 300 shirts is 36 shirts.
