what is 12% of 32

What exactly is 12 percent?

 

12 percent is 12/100. 

 

32 is a full number. So, it would equal 32/1.

 

"of" basically means multiply. To find 12 percent, we would multiply 12/100 by 32/1.

 

The answer is 3.84

\(32 \times 12\mbox{%}\)

\(= 32 \times \dfrac{12}{100}\)

\(=\dfrac{384}{100}\)

\(= 3.84\)

 

Same as Mellie's answer.
