In order to find the value of any logarithmic function, you can raise the base (10 by default, unless stated otherwise) to the answer (.94) to get the number (x).
So, 0.94 = log x is basically saying 10^.94 = x. And when you raise 10 to the .94 power, you get 8.71.
Using the order of operations, we start with the equation in parentheses. This equals 15. Now we multiply 12*15 to get the answer. Doing the math, we get 180.
