$50$ $50$

Explanation:

Set up the equation. We can write 12% as $\frac{12}{100}$ $12/100$ .
$\frac{6}{x} = \frac{12}{100}$ $6/x = 12/100$
Multiply by $x$ $x$ on both sides
$6 = \frac{12}{100} x$ $6=12/100x$
Miltiply by $100$ $100$ on both sides
$600 = 12 x$ $600=12x$
Divide both sides by $12$ $12$
$50 = x$ $50=x$
Thus $6$ $6$ is $12 %$ $12%$ of $50$ $50$ .
