Answer 1

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{\dfrac{part}{whole}=\dfrac{percent}{100}}\)

Part = 12
Whole = Unknown
Percent = 40

Plug in the values in the formula given above

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{\dfrac{12}{whole}=\dfrac{40}{100}}\)

We are solving for the whole, so we can cross multiply 12 and 100, so what is \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{12\times100}\)

Answer 2

1,200

Answer 3

Correct! Now we can take 1,200 and divide it by 40, so what is \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{1,200\div 40}\)

Answer 4

30 @sammixboo

Answer 5

oh 30 is the answer right?

Answer 6

Correct, so we have

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{40}{100}}\)

And you can say that 12 is 40% of 30
