Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way of solving this is to divide 8% of the number into a % that is divisible by 12.

This is 4%.

So if 8% of the number is 4, then 4 percent is half of 4, that is 2.

Now we convert 4% into 12% thus making it 6

Hope this helps

A more complicated way of doing this, but most reliable is to work out what the number is .

For now let number be y.

8/100 x y = 4

8y/100 = 4

8y= 400

y = 50.

Now calculate 12% of 50.

This is

12/100 x 50 = 6

Hope this helps.
