Johnathon Herman · Answer 1

A) 60

B) 450

Step-by-step explanation:

A) you multiply 5x12

B) 10,000 (the whole) divided by 100 (the 4.5% comes from 100%) is 100. Now instead of trying to divide the missing number, (you cant cause its not there) you instead multiply. You multiply 4.5% by the hundred that you got earlier.
