False

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 30% can be written as $\frac{30}{100}$ $30/100$ and 12% can be written as $\frac{12}{100}$ $12/100$ .

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

We can rewrite this problem as:

Is $\frac{30}{100} \times 129 = \frac{12}{100} \times 30$ $30/100 xx 129 = 12/100 xx 30$ ?

$\frac{3870}{100} = \frac{360}{100}$ $3870/100 = 360/100$

$38.70 \neq 3.60$ $38.70 != 3.60$

The two values are not equal so this is false.
