A coin was tossed 20 times and landed on heads 12 times. What percent of the time did it land on heads?

Divide the amount of heads by the amount of tosses.

12÷20=0.6

0.6 is 60%

60%

To find this, set up a ratio:

12/20 = x/100

X being the percentage.

Cross multiply 12 and 100 before dividing it by 20 to receive the final answer of 60.

Hope this helps!
