What is 12% of 4? explain and show your work

To solve this you must use a proportion like so...

12 is a percent and percent's are always taken out of the 100. This means that one proportion will have 12 as the part and 100 as the whole

We want to know what is 12% of the number 4. This means 4 is the whole and the unknown (let's make this x) is the part.

Now you must cross multiply

x*100 = 4*12

100x = 48

Now isolate x divide 100 to both sides

100x/100 = 48/100

0.48 = x

This means that 12% of 4is 0.48

Hope this helped!
