Question from ROBERT: WHAT IS 12% OF FOUR TRILLION |
Robert,
First remember that 12% is 12/100.
Write down 4 trillion, including all the zeros. Now multiply by 12/100 by canceling two of the zeros in 4 trillion with the two zeros in the denominator of 12/100, and multiplying by 12.
I hope this helps,
Penny
