2% of the number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

4% of a number is 12

We want to know what 2% percent of it is.

So if we divide the number 12 by 2 we will be able to find the answer.

Note: 4%/2 = 2%(which is the percent we are looking for) Which is why if we also divide 12 by 2 which is 12/2 we will get 2% of the number.

12/2=6
