is

60 \%

of what number?

Convert to decimal: Convert $60\%$ to a decimal. $\newline$ To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by $100$ . $\newline$ $60 \div 100 = 0.60$ $\newline$ $60\%$ as a decimal is $0.60$ .
Set up equation: Set up the equation to find the number that $12$ is $60\%$ of. $\newline$ Let the number be represented by $x$ . According to the problem, $60\%$ of $x$ is equal to $12$ . $\newline$ So, we write the equation as $0.60 \times x = 12$ .
Solve for x: Solve for x. $\newline$ To find x, divide both sides of the equation by $0.60$ . $\newline$ $x = \frac{12}{0.60}$ $\newline$ $x = 20$
