Best Answer

You would multiply "something" by .12

So, something costing $20.00 would increase by 2.40 when multiplied by 12%.

$20.00

x .12

______

$ 2.40

NOTE: To convert a number shown as a percent such as 12%, you remove the %-sign and place a decimal two-places to the left of the last number. Thus 12% is the same as .12 likewise 120% would be 1.20.
