Question

Fill in the missing number.

% of 60 = 12

Answer 1

20% of 60=12

Step-by-step explanation:

12/0.6

Answer 2

20%

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%
