12

Step-by-step explanation:

I looked it up

Answer 2

Answer: 12

40% = 40/100 = 0.40

"of" means "multiply" in percent word problems like this. Multiply 0.40 with 30 to get 0.40*30 = 12

Optionally, you can solve the equation below for x

part/whole = percent/100

x/30 = 40/100

x/30 = 0.40

x = 0.40*30

x = 12

much of those steps follow a similar pattern to what was mentioned earlier.
