Answer:

Liam has finished 18 lessons

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of lessons finished by Liam

we know that

If Liam has finished the same percent of lessons from his piano book than Jenny

then

the finished lesson and the number of lessons are proportional

Using proportion


(12)/(20)=(x)/(30)\\\\x=12*30/20\\ \\x=18\ finished\ lessons
