12 is what percent of 96

The answer is 12 is 12.5% of 96

Let us arrange an equation #

12 = x % of 96.

12 = (x/100) * 96.

12 = 96x/100              Cross Multiply.

12 * 100 = 96x

96x = 12 *100

x = (12*100)/96.    Cancel out or use your calculator, or 12 cancels itself is 1,
                           and into 96 is 8, so you have (100/8).
x = 100/8.            4 into 100 is 25 and into 8 is 2.

x = 25/2.
                          
x = 12.5

Therefore 12 is 12.5% of 96.  That's it.
