Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
the question is: 12 is what percent of 60
we can use this proportion to solve:
is/of = percent/100
in this problem the:
is = 12
of = 60
'what percent' = x/100
12/60 = x/100
we can cross-multiply to get:
60x = 1200
x = 1200/60
x = 20
remember, 20 is out of 100 so the answer is 20%
