First change the percent to a decimal. To do this, change the % sign to a decimal point and the move the decimal point two places to the left. Thus 12% =.12
Now multipl this decimal by $250
.12* $250 = $30

12 % = 12 out of 100 = 0.12
0.12 * 250 = 30

Move the decimal two places to the left. So it becomes .12 * 250

% means divided by 100 so 12%=12/100=.12
.12*$250=$30

you can set up proportions
12/100 = n/250
cross multiply
100n = 3000
now divide by 100 to get n by itself
n = $30

12% is equivalent to the decimal 0.12, so multiply that by 250. (I assume you'll use a calculator!)
