Answer:
300 g
Step-by-step explanation:
36 g = 12% × (daily value)
(36 g)/(12/100) = (daily value) . . . . . . . divide by 12%
(3600 g)/12 = (daily value) = 300 g

"Per cent" means "divided by 100". The symbol (%) is a shorthand way to write "/100". So, 12% = 12/100 = 0.12.

<em>Comment on dividing fractions</em>
You can divide fractions by multiplying by the inverse of the denominator:
... a/(b/c) = a × c/b = ac/b
Or, you can express numerator and denominator over the same denominator, then cancel that:
... a/(b/c) = (ac/c) / (b/c) = ac/b
Either way, 36/(12/100) = 3600/12 = 300.
