find the amount when the base and percent are known.
amount = base x percent
convert 3% to decimal
remove the % symbol. divide 3 by 100 to get the decimal
3 / 100 = 0.03
Multiply 12.76 times the decimal
12.76 x 0.03 = 0.3828
The amount is 0.3828 or 38¢ rounded to two decimal places
38¢ is 3% of $ 12.76
