Answer 9

For example, how to solve for a value when you know what a percentage part is:
15 is 10% what number? in equation form is 15/10% = X.
We need to first convert the percentage to an equivalent decimal to do our calculation.
Converting a percentage to a decimal we remove the percentage sign and divide by 100.

Answer 10

In Math, "of" usually means "times".
Also, "is" means "=".
Also, "%" means "/100" (or "divide by 100").

Now translate your problem from English to Math:

What is 20% of 12,000?

? = 20% * 12,000
? = 20/100 * 12,000
? = 0.2 * 12,000

Now multiply 0.2 by 12,000 to find the answer.
