12 is 30% of pls help

40

the

answer

is

40

The 30% of a number can be calculated multiplying that number by 0.3, so, if we call the number we don't know x, we can write this equation:

0.3x = 12

And then solve it for x::

x = 12/0.3 = 40

So now we know that the number is 40.

We can replace the 40 in the equation to get if our answer is correct or not..

30% of 40: 0.3 *  40 = 12

And then, we see it's correct

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
