what percent is 12 of 40

Answer 1

To find out what percent 12 is of 40, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, the part is 12 and the whole is 40:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{12}{40} \right) \times 100 \]

Now, calculate:

\[ \frac{12}{40} = 0.3 \]

Now multiply by 100:

\[ 0.3 \times 100 = 30 \]

So, 12 is 30% of 40.
