what is 12% of 100,000?

//////
12000

The question above seems to be tricky but I will do my very best to answer the question.

Now, according to my ancestor Isaac Newton, the principle used in solving this problem is very rare.

Here it goes:

Given: 100, 000
12%

Solution:

multiply 100000 by .12

100,000 * 0.12 = 12,000

therefore the answer is 12,000.

just a reminder when solving problem like this is that you must be cautious to avoid being tricked.

88,000

12% of 100,000 = (12/100) / 100,000

= 12,000

100%<------>100,000

10%<--------> 10,000
2%<------------>2,000

12%<--------->12,000

100,000 / 100 = 1000
1000 x 12 = 12,000
Thats usually the simplest way of figuring out a percentage
Hope this helps.

Use your calculator:
12 x 100,000 divided by 100 = 12,000

100000 x 12%
= 100000 x 12/100
= 1200000/100
= 12000
