Full solution

Q. If

12 \%

of a number is

40

, find

6 \%

of that number.

\newline

Answer:

Find $12\%$ of $40$ : First, we need to find the number of which $12\%$ is equal to $40$ . To do this, we set up the equation: $0.12 \times \text{number} = 40$ . Now we solve for the number by dividing both sides of the equation by $0.12$ . $\text{number} = \frac{40}{0.12}$
Calculate the number: Perform the division to find the number. $number = 333.33$ (rounded to two decimal places for simplicity)
Find $6\%$ of the number: Now that we have the number, we can find $6\%$ of it. $\newline$ To do this, we multiply the number by $0.06$ (since $6\%$ is $0.06$ in decimal form). $\newline$ $6\%$ of number = $0.06 \times 333.33$
Find $6$ % of the number: Now that we have the number, we can find $6$ % of it. $\newline$ To do this, we multiply the number by $0.06$ (since $6$ % is $0.06$ in decimal form). $\newline$ $6$ % of number = $0.06 \times 333.33$ Perform the multiplication to find $6$ % of the number. $\newline$ $6$ % of number = $20$
