What is 7 percent of 12?

Answer 1

You would solve this like an algebratic equation:
12 100

---- = -----

7 x

Then you'd cross multiply..

12(x) = 100(7)

12x=700

Then you'd divide..

12x=700

--- -----

12 12

x=58.3

(The three is repeating)

Answer 2

The first step is to convert the percentage to a decimal: 7% = 0.07. Then we just multiply it out: 12 x 0.07 = 0.84
