Answer 1

You take the 30 and multiply it by 12% as a decimal to get your answer

Answer 2

250

Answer 3

30 * 100/12 = 250

Answer 4

360?

Answer 5

360 * 0.12 is 43.2

Answer 6

Yes, @katrinamarie0803 is right

Answer 7

The answer is 30 / 0.12

Answer 8

To do this kind of problem, I would set it up as a proportion and solve

Answer 9

where you have 30/x = 12/100

Answer 10

Since 250 * 0.12 would get me 12% of that number, which is 30, I did the opposite and divided 0.12 to get the original number.

Answer 11

Divided by 0.12*

Answer 12

The way that you should actually solve it is to have a proportion so you get 12x = 3000 and then divide both sides by 12 to get your number

Answer 13

I am sure there are other ways to solve it but that is how I remember it in school
