Question

36 inches is 12% of what length?

Answer 1

would it be 300 in

Answer 2

Yes, it would be 300 inches.

Answer 3

Pretty sure anyway, haha

Answer 4

Cause 300 x .12 = 36

Answer 5

36 = 12/100x (36 is equal to twelve one hundredths of some number that we'll call x. 12/100 is 12 percent)
Solve by multiplying both sides by the inverse of the fraction which is 100/12.
x = 36 * 100/12
x = 3600/12
x = 300
